Questions from Phoenix

What's the busiest time for streaming in Phoenix?

Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Phoenix, or 02:00–06:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.

Will it work on the way to Las Vegas?

Yes. On the roughly 412 km between Phoenix and Las Vegas, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.

Does it support English and Spanish subtitles?

Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .en.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.

Can I watch my films in Mexico?

Yes. Over the border in Tijuana (around 472 km), your library streams from home exactly as it does in Phoenix.

Can I watch my own films in Phoenix?

Of course. Your own server holds the films; the apps for phones, tablets and TVs play them in Phoenix or wherever you take them.

What does Silux Media cost in the United States?

Nothing to start: the server you run at home is free, remote streaming included. Plus, Pro and Cloud are optional, billed in USD.
