Nope your cable needs should stay the same, the router just sits between the PC and the STB.
Think the important thing here is to power down the STB and PC when trying to sit the router into the network. Have you used more than 1 PC on the broadband connection at all? You should be able to just tell the router to obtain the IP automatically as Gaz has said and then power the PC and STB down, power up the STB, let it lock onto its feeds and then power up the PC again.
