hayu shows
Need a new show to binge watch or catch up on? Here’s the full list of shows on hayu:
720p is supported by the first two generations of Apple TV, so if you’re using one of these slightly antiquated models that will be the maximum resolution you’ll be able to get away with. However, Apple TV devices that are 3rd generation or higher support 1080p HD and 4K.
Be aware, though, that your viewing experience will be at the mercy of your Internet connection. You’ll also need decent Internet speeds to stream in HD. As a guide, hayu requires an Internet connection speed of at least 1Mbps with a recommended speed of at least 3Mbps. But that may not cut it for HD.
Subtitles and audio
Subtitles and captions for hayu on Apple TV are displayed in the lower half of the screen. To save or adjust your settings, play the TV show or movie for at least five minutes and your preferences will be set. To change your actual subtitles appearance settings, you need to log into your hayu account and change them through there.

Troubleshoot hayu and Apple TV with the following tips:
Unplug your Apple TV from the wall for 15 seconds to reset it.
Go into the “Settings” menu on your Apple TV and select “Test Internet Connection”.
In the same menu, choose the function that searches for any software updates.
Close and reopen the hayu application.
To connect your Apple TV you need three things:
A high-definition television
An iTunes account
A broadband connection
Connect the supplied HDMI cable to the Apple TV unit and to an HDMI port on your television. Plug in the Apple TV’s power and then use your TV remote to navigate to the input source that aligns with you chosen HDMI port.
Typically this is related to the app not being updated to the current version. Make sure you’re running the current iteration of the hayu app, then unplug your Apple TV for 30 seconds and try again.
