Yes, it is (unfortunately) very unclear. Amazon confuses the concepts of nationality, preferred language, physical location, and location of any Amazon store(s) bought from. I live in NL and Amazon used to be ok with my getting skills in the .co.uk store when there was no Amazon.nl site and we were 'expected' to shop on Amazon.de. Ironically, after they created Amazon.nl, they expect our skills to come from Amazon.de and no longer from .co.uk. Might be the same for you (.de expected). However, to be in the .de store, a skill -must -be available in the German language which MediaServer is not. AFAIK, this means you will not be able to subscribe unless you somehow set all your locations for shipping and digital content and whatever to either .co.uk or .com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111443
