A wireless mouse or air mouse will really help with this setup procedure.

Install progtv and then open it on your device.
Find the TV Sources option and open that.
Your progtv may initially open on the Main Menu screen and there you would see the menu selections. TV Sources will be shown there. Or it may open onto the TV Source screen . Either case the very top left side of screen the menu page you are currently viewing will be shown there in Bold type with a 'Back' icon button shown beside it.
In TV Sources menu, the first choice is ITPV Client and then another IPTV Client.
Click on one of these and that's where you enter your playlist URL

-M3U generic Plus or with Options is the list you want for EPG and Icons.

You can also enter the EPG URL here too. That's the line that is labeled as GUIDE.

Then scroll down to bottom of screen page and use the OK option.
Then click the big back button seen at the top of the screen page (found beside the TV Sources heading).
You should be taken back to Main Menu with the choices on the left side of the screen.
Click on Update and that will update the URLs you just added.
After it has updated successfully, click on the Guide to check that out or the Channel List option and that will now open your channels.

You can also copy the URLs on a text document and put that on a USB device and insert that device into iptv receiver. then you can simply paste them URLs instead of typing them.
This is explained further in post #2 on this tutorial thread.

You can get into your USB device from here too. The path would be mnt/usb/sda/sda1

Using a mouse helps alot here.

*A couple helpful points from dandrade2...
-Use the M3U generic list with options for progtv
-Set the options as 5000 buffer with 1hr interval for auto-updates.

You can change menu screen sizes and the text onscreen sizes.
Select how to see the channels,weather by name, numbers, or some other chooses here.
Many more functions with this application that you can mess around with.
