Technical problems have plagued the Hayu subscription video-on-demand service of US media giant NBC Universal. The reality TV-focused Hayu was launched in March 2016, but some users in Australia have complained that streaming TV shows on Hayu is very slow. A spokesman for NBC Universal concedes that there have been issues with Hayu but says the company is addressing these problems.
