iPad/iTunes

Question

Beginner here - have my first iPad (the new mini) - am trying to use the iTunes store for films. However, presumably because I am set up as being here in Belgium, it shows me films in Dutch, French and some in German. I can't seem to be able to find English (or original version) films - anyone any idea how I can do this (or what I need to change). What I have seen is that I can change the region to, for example, UK but then I need a credit card for that region whereas I only have a credit card here. Anyone know if I change to UK, whether I will be able to add my Belgian credit card. Any help/advice appreciated. Thanks

ITunes restricts you to the store where your credit card is registered. So, you can only access the UK store through a UK registered credit card with a UK address. The selection of films on the Belgian store is pretty restricted at the moment, but there are a few films available in VO (look for ones with subtitles onstead).

There is a way round it. In our family, for example, we've set up a second account using a relative's address, and we load it with UK iTunes voucher cards rather than use a credit card. Unfortunately you can't buy iTunes vouchers online though, so you need to have a friend or relative who doesn't mind buying them for you. We tend to just buy £100 or so of vouchers every time we visit the UK and that keeps us going....
