Questions from Bukhara

Can I watch my own films in Bukhara?

Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Bukhara, elsewhere in Uzbekistan, or abroad.

How much mobile data does a film use in Bukhara?

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.

Will it work on the way to Samarkand?

Yes — the 217 km trip to Samarkand is no problem: the stream adapts to each mast you pass instead of stopping.

What does Silux Media cost in Uzbekistan?

Free. Running the server at home in Bukhara costs nothing, and the apps are free; paid plans only add managed extras.

What's the busiest time for streaming in Bukhara?

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 Uzbek and Russian subtitles?

Yes. Subtitle files next to your films, and the subtitle and audio tracks inside them, appear in the player in any language.
