Questions from Honolulu
How much mobile data does a film use in Honolulu?
Roughly 0.6 GB for an hour of 720p and 1.0 GB in 1080p, so a two-hour film in HD fits in about 2.0 GB of your plan.
Does it support English and Spanish subtitles?
Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
Does it work on slower connections around Honolulu?
Yes. Silux Media plays HD from about 0.7 Mbps and keeps going below 0.3 Mbps at lower quality — built for fixed-wireless, satellite and rural mobile links.
What does Silux Media cost in the United States?
Free. Running the server at home in Honolulu costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
Can I watch my own films in Honolulu?
Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Honolulu or wherever you take them.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Honolulu?
Between about 7 and 11 pm local time. Quality re-adjusts every three seconds, so a crowded evening network means a lighter picture for a moment, not a frozen one.
