Your first five minutes: How to Use IPTV on VLC Player
VLC opens on an empty screen and asks for a playlist. It signs in with an M3U link opened as a network stream, with no TV guide. Enter the details exactly as sent and give it a minute or two to load the channels and the guide; the first load is the slowest.
