Frequently asked questions

What is dunno.tv?
A set of always-on "live" channels built from real YouTube videos. Instead of picking something to watch, you pick a channel (Tennis, Chess, Nature, Comedy, and more) and something is already playing, the way broadcast TV used to work.
Do I need an account to watch?
No. The free channels play with no sign-in, no setup, and no ad-blocking of any kind. YouTube's own ads play unmodified. An account is only needed for the paid plan.
Is this YouTube, or something else?
Every video plays through YouTube's own official player, embedded exactly as YouTube provides it. dunno.tv doesn't host, download, re-encode, or modify any video. We just decide what plays when. dunno.tv is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
Why did the channel jump to something else while I was watching?
Occasionally a video becomes unavailable (the uploader removed it, or restricted it in your region) after it was scheduled. When that happens, the channel automatically advances to the next program. No error screen, no dead air.
Why do the channels change from week to week?
Each channel pulls from a curated list of YouTube channels and playlists, refreshed automatically as new videos are posted. You're not watching a fixed loop: the lineup keeps itself current.
What do the paid plans add?
Your own lineup instead of the general free one. Answer 4 quick questions and AI builds your channels from YouTube creators who make full-length videos, plus one channel of something new. Pro ($6/month or $47/year) gives you 9 channels and 20 AI changes a month. Premium ($12/month or $94/year) gives you up to 15 channels, unlimited AI changes (fair use), a fresh something-new channel every week, and suggest-similar. Yearly plans save about 35%, and every plan starts with a 3-day free trial.
How do I change my channels?
Go to Your channels and say what you want, like "more cricket, less cooking". You can also retake the quiz, or add and remove YouTube channels on any channel by hand.
Can I watch on my TV?
Yes. Open dunno.tv/tv in your TV's web browser (or on a laptop plugged into the TV). Use the arrow keys to flip channels and OK for the guide. To see your own channels, sign in on the TV with a short code at dunno.tv/link. Apps for Android TV, Fire TV, Samsung, and LG, plus Chromecast support, are on the way.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to Pricing and choose Manage subscription. From there you can switch plans, update your card, or cancel at any time. Cancelling stops future billing; you keep access through the end of the current billing period.
Is dunno.tv appropriate for kids?
Some free channels (like Kids Zone) feature family-friendly YouTube content, but dunno.tv itself is a general-audience product, not a service directed at children, and we don't verify the age of anyone watching. We'd encourage the same parental judgment you'd use for YouTube itself.
Something isn't working. Who do I contact?
