Yes, a valid subscription allows for current updates to be pushed through. The problem may be with the current OS version. If you're on OS 2.0.7 or older, a factory reset is advised then re-download all desired platforms w/correct language. If you're on OS 2.10, there appears to be some bugs causing connection/operation conflict. I would still advise several factory resets then try to re-download all desired platforms w/ correct language. It took me several attempts flashing software to sync my VCI when I first purchased the mini but I'm also still on 2.0.7
