Leads etc

This may be a stupid question but please indulge a newbie - will a Starview 5 box ship with the correct cables/splitters etc needed to get set up right away - if not could somebody advise me on what is needed so I can get them ordered - ordered a Starview 5 about 5 mins ago & unsure what's going to come with it.....

u flash (download the firmware (programme to enable to see the pay channels) thro a u sb stick which u can get on line or computer world so no leads needed .....if u need a splitter n a cable u can get these either from maplins or online ....normally from starview supplier ...accessorries?

I think I actually mean splitter & cable - apparently the box is coming with an F-RF adaptor & 2-3 pin plug adaptor which I assume means I'm going to need a splitter & cable?

it s advisable u keep ur virgin supplied box plugged in so that if virgin send any updates the virgin box will recieve them ...thats the only reason u may need a splitter n cable un less u want to run the cable to another room of course or if u have a live feed to a modem and u want to split it so that u can recieve the tele as well ..the starview doesnt actually need a splitter n some more additional cable to work ...just a live virgin cable feed

I think I'll keep the Virgin box connected in that case - so a splitter & cables are needed? Would you mind advising the splitter & cable type needed?
