HAYU - 12 euro a year

TheDriver

HAYU. 4.30 for 3 months, 12.50 for a year.

Turn on india VPN

Go to HAYu website. Sign up and go to subscribe. It should give you option of 349 rupees or 999 rupees

Purchase sub.

Turn off VPN and just watch it as normal. No cancellation required, it just keeps on working until expiry date, then stops. No VPN rqd for watching.

Won't take revolut or n26 for me.

Ptsb debit and credit card also fails.

What did you use to get it?

TheDriver

Revolut, no issue.

What is hayu ! sorry never heard of it

A lot of reality shows, owned by NBC. It wouldn't be for everyone but at this price, it's a bargain

I can't manage to get to the signup page with an Indian VPN - I keep getting redirected to the Login page. I tried 2 different browsers and a laptop and mobile.

I checked my location online to make sure it was looking like I'm in India and that's working, so am I "in" India

If I don't run the VPN I can get to the sign up page but it has, of course, Irish prices

TheDriver

I had trouble with one VPN, no issue with another. Try tunnel bear maybe

I used IP vanish or VPN unlimited (cant remember which)

mailburner

Does it work? I don't mind paying the 12.50 if I can watch something?

Anyone get it working on firestick?

TheDriver

Yes, works perfectly on firestick without vpn. Once you sign up your account online through india and pay the pass for 3 months/12 months

TheDriver

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119128908#Comment_119128908

Think I used seed4me or vpnunlimited on mobile

loopymum

Worked for me, thanks op, I used windscribe.

You are not going to see Irish prices, its indian rupees

What am i doing wrong its not taking my revoult at all

brightkane

It wouldnt accept my revolut but I was choosing visa instead of mastercard 🙄 worked when I changed it to mastercard

Dothehustle

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119137952#Comment_119137952

But revolut is visa, It wont accept mine at all keep getting a 400 error and "Invalid data provided to proceed with 3D Secure Authentication"

Dublinandy3

Cheers, bit cheaper now thanks to the exchange rate changing

vectra

Off topic sort of.

I downloaded the app on to my android box but it says something like Not compatible and wont run.

Any ideas as I would like to have this for my wife.

bromley52

Cheers OP. Worked with my Curve card.

VPN unlimited have removed India VPN due to new data laws last month. Tunnelbear also don't have an India VPN.

Tried a few free VPN's but none are working for India. Any decent value VPN's just to sign up for Hayu about?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119326438#Comment_119326438

Just typed in 'India VPN' on Google play, used the first app that came up. Installed, signed up, uninstalled. No issues with Revolut either, except I had to delete the last number of my card and re-enter it because autocomplete was causing issues.

The app I used:

TheDriver

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119327525#Comment_119327525

Id say use a revolut 1 use card if you're using any less known VPN just in case

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119327525#Comment_119327525

Thank you.

Installed the above app.

Had to try a few different Indian locations before Hayu would load in my browser but got in after a few mins and signed up for new account and paid with Revoult disposable card for 12 month pass (€12.50 / 999rupes). No issues. And have Hayu working on the TV and Firestick already (no need for VPN as stated when watching) Very simple! Keep herself happy now while I've the golf on for the next 4 days.

Just in case anyone's wondering why India's not available as an option in many VPN services:

Old Revolut is Visa. The newer cards are Mastercard.

TheRona

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119352140#Comment_119352140

Are you sure? I used to have Mastercard only. My newest card that I was issued is a VISA.

TheDriver

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119350750#Comment_119350750

I note a good few VPNs now have "virtual India" which seems to do enough to make the Indian rupees price appear.

Soarer

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119352257#Comment_119352257

Maybe it's different for different people.

My original one was Visa, but my replacement is now Mastercard.

TheDriver

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119352689#Comment_119352689

Im the opposite, new is visa. However virtual is Mastercard. I use my once off cards for these transactions

brightkane

Any idea where to get the sub from now?

Turkey I'd say, seems cheap at 6 euro a year

TheDriver

Signed up to Turkey, no issues. They have an offer until end of Feb which is 50% off annual sub for life. So use a new email, set up a new account and sub before end of Feb.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120153404#Comment_120153404

Just about to come on and say same about India going..

So we off on our holidays to Turkey this time? Was seeing it' was around same price and sure with the offer now it's a bargain.

No issues with setting it up under new email and via a VPN?

TheDriver

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120153431#Comment_120153431

The only issue was the website doesn't like incognito, seems to need cookies allowed. But other than that, easy.

TheRona

Signed up via Turkey on my phone earlier. The only issue was that the Revolut app wouldn't work while I was connected on the VPN, so I had to turn it off when going through the payment process. Still worked fine.

BTW if you don't have another email address, or just don't want to have to set up a new one, you can just use youremail+whatever@gmail.com, modifying your existing Gmail address. Youremail being your existing Gmail, and whatever being any random word/words you want to add to it.

For gmail you can also add a . (fullstop) anywhere in your email address and the email will still arrive in your inbox.

So h.omersimpson@gmail.com will arrive in the inbox of homersimpson@gmail.com.

padair

This will be usefull to see what sites sell you email address onto the spammers

Did anyone else get an email saying that Hayu India is closing?

Read the last few posts

Muahahaha

Tempted to get this but I always end up down a rabbit hole with reality tv. I had a free trial of it in November and ended up watching 6 or 7 series of Below Deck, probably 50 hours worth. And then when Im done I regret not using that time to watch something quality like the Sopranos which I still have never seen. I really need to get my tv choices prioritised lol

shmeee

Can't seem to get payment through for Turkey, trying since the weekend.

Error after I go to pay for a year (VPN on and payment values in Lira)

"Error: Forbidden

Your client does not have permission to get URL /challenges/browser from this server."

Tried different browsers and devices (clear cookies, cache, history etc). Any advice? Thanks in advance.

TheRona

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120298946#Comment_120298946

I found that if I disabled my VPN once I got to that point, everything worked fine. The VPN was messing up 2FA.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120299178#Comment_120299178

Thanks, I'll try again later or tomorrow.

They're tweeting now that the site is experiencing issues so maybe that's the problem I'm having today anyway. Turkey offer over there now; still a bargain at €14 a year on annual sub. Same price I paid for India.

Worked - turned off VPN when entering and confirming card details via bank app - didn't need to turn VPN back one once at payment page. Year sub for Turkey (€13) on rolling basis so that should keep her happy for another while. Thanks for the help!

bromley52

I just got my HAYU India refund.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120309370#Comment_120309370

Same - as good as covered the cost of the new 12 month for Turkey.

Can't believe Hayu refunded full amount and a good 8 months of the sub used. Won't complain.

deadl0ck

I'm trying to sign up with Turkey and keep getting "Your client does not have permission to get URL /challenges/browser from this server." after I try pay :/
