Questions from Atlanta
Will it work on the way to Nashville?
It does. Between Atlanta and Nashville (about 346 km) the picture follows the signal down and back up, so the film doesn't pause.
How much mobile data does a film use in Atlanta?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
Can I watch my own films in Atlanta?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Atlanta or wherever you take them.
Does it support English and Spanish subtitles?
Every subtitle and audio track your files carry is offered in the player, in English and Spanish or any other language.
What does Silux Media cost in the United States?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
Can I watch my films in Canada?
Anywhere, Canada included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
