Questions from Pittsburgh
How much mobile data does a film use in Pittsburgh?
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.
What does Silux Media cost in the United States?
Free. Running the server at home in Pittsburgh costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Pittsburgh?
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.
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 Pittsburgh?
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.
Will it work on the way to Columbus?
Yes — the 261 km trip to Columbus is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.
