What's the resolution for hayu on Apple TV?

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 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.
