How it works
What is Hayu?
Hayu is an internet-based streaming service that focuses entirely on reality TV. Because of that single focus it is cheaper than broader services like Binge, Stan, Foxtel, Amazon Prime or Netflix, though it does not offer their sport, movie or drama packages.
Reality TV on demand
Hayu launched in Australia in 2016 and is 100% focused on reality TV, with both the latest releases and household-name franchises. It is also available across most of Europe as well as Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Canada.
Same day as the US
You can watch many shows the same day they are released in the US, or download old favourites and binge them in your own time. The heavy focus on reality TV makes Hayu cheaper than broader services.
One stream at a time
Unlike some other services, Hayu only allows one device to stream at a time per subscription. Streaming quality is HD with a fast connection and adapts to your device and connection speed.

You can access Hayu in plenty of ways. Just remember that only one device can stream at a time per subscription.
