VLC has many options, but you need only a handful. Here is what to use.
1

Show the channel list

Press Ctrl and L together. The list appears. Double-click any channel to watch it. Press the same keys again to hide the list.
2

Fill the screen

Double-click the picture, or press the F key. Press Esc to return to the normal window.
3

Change the volume

Hold Ctrl and press the up or down arrow. The volume is also shown at the bottom right of the window.
4

Pause

Press the space bar. Press it again to continue. On live TV, pausing may jump you back to live afterwards.
5

Turn on subtitles

Click Subtitle at the top of the window, then Sub Track. Choose a language if one is listed. Many live channels do not have one.
6

Keep your link handy

VLC does not always remember your list. To save it, click Media, then Save Playlist to File, and save it to your desktop. Keep this file private, as it contains your login.
