Over 300,000 households have gained access to COSMOTE TV’s streaming service in just a year and a half of operation. Its innovative features and capabilities, combined with comprehensive, high-quality television content in all programme categories (sports, film, documentaries), make it the current Greek streaming service leader.
Innovative features by COSMOTE TV
COSMOTE TV’s streaming service changed the pay-TV landscape, as it was the first in Greece to combine channels’ live programming with on-demand content. It is based on the Comcast Technology Solutions platform, but it has been designed and continues to be improved by COSMOTE TV’s people. The service:
- has a user-friendly menu and an easy navigation environment.
- offers a common viewing experience on all screens, as the interface adapts to each device from which it is accessed: televisions (easy installation, no antenna required, via a Wi-Fi Android TV Box), mobile devices (tablets, smartphones), PCs, Laptops, Mac, Android TV devices (such as SONY Smart TVs), as well as Samsung & LG Smart TVs.
- allows for simultaneous viewing on 2 screens of all content apart from sports, which is available on only one screen.
- supports up to 5 separate profiles for each user, and there is a special kids menu with a parental control service.
- enables downloading onto mobile devices for playback without an Internet connection, so users can watch their favourite content wherever they are.
- supports casting from Android tablets & smartphones to Android TV devices, such as televisions.
- offers 4K content on the COSMOTE SPORT 4K channel, which hosts top sporting events (matches from European football championships, UEFA Champions League & UEFA Europa League, Formula 1, etc.)
A combination of personalised viewing & rich content
COSMOTE TV’s streaming service users have countless content options available, through 86 channels, 17 of which are produced by COSMOTE TV (SPORT, CINEMA & HISTORY) and on-demand lists (e.g. COSMOTE TV Plus). Even with such a wealth of content, users can find the right programme quickly and easily, since the service menu dynamically adapts to their interests and preferences with the help of AI. The result is personalised viewing recommendations from the premium content of COSMOTE TV in all programme categories (movies/series, sports, documentaries).
In sports, COSMOTE TV offers by far the richest sporting spectacle, hosting more than 60 top events and championships of football (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Europa Conference League, Super League Interwetten, Premier League, Lega Serie Portugal Bwin, FA Cup, Copa del Rey etc.), basketball (NBA, WNBA, FIBA Basketball Champions League, ACB Liga Endesa etc.), motorsports (Formula 1, MotoGP, WRC, WRX etc.), tennis (ΑΤP Finals, Next Gen ATP Finals, ATP Masters 1000, ΑΤP 500 etc.) and other popular sports. Overall, COSMOTE SPORT channels will host more than 8,000 hours of live broadcasts during the new TV season.
In films, through its partnerships with leading producers, content distributors and international studios (Disney, Paramount Pictures, CBS, Showtime, BBC Studios, ITV, Lionsgate, Fremantle Entertainment One, etc.), COSMOTE TV has a wealth of high-quality content, and subscribers can enjoy television premieres and on-demand content on its channels and services (COSMOTE TV Plus, Replay TV, etc.) During the 2021-2022 season, COSMOTE TV’s roster will include more than 120 television series premieres.
Focusing on Greek history and culture, COSMOTE HISTORY HD, the only documentary channel on Greek television, has so far broadcast over 130 original documentary productions and co-productions and over 1,000 hours of TV content. During the new TV season, there will be more than 15 original documentary productions and co-productions by COSMOTE TV, shedding light on important aspects of Greek cultural heritage.
