What is a dongle?
Is it easy to set up?
Where would I get one?
What do they cost?
TIA.

A 'dongle' is a device that fits normally into the USB port of your laptop/computer and in this case (I presume you are looking for internet related?) gives you access to the internet. There are a couple of types (maybe more), I prefer the mi-fi dongle which is wireless and can supply internet to several devices. If you have good mobile cover, a good option.

Dongles are old technology that is probably why you are finding difficulty getting information.
Like most modern devices they are almost out of date by the time they reach the public domain, but good luck.

I think your iptv box should be connected via wi-fi or cable (ethernet) from your modem or router. (If you have one) A dongle running an iptv would be expensive I would imagine.

Use your smartphone as a modem hotspot and connect by a USB cable to you box
