ok, bare with me im brand new to this.
just to clarify, i DO need a dish to pick up any channels with starview 4 box?
if so what dishes are compatible?
also, what firmware do i need to download to get it going?
and to make sure, i use a dual sided usb cord hooked up from the box to my computer?

thanks in advance
