Cosmote TV App what is the number that "floats" on my screen

Do you know why the Cosmote TV app shows numbers while watching?

We looked up the number showing us on our account at My Cosmote and it doesn't seem to exist.Cosmote TV

But the number that appears on my screen is a specific one, as if it gives an identity to the end user. We read online that the numbers displayed are different, which is not the case in our case.

What happens;

This is a verification technique by Cosmote to determine if the subscriber is legitimate. On the other hand it is a very good practice (for the company*) to be able to download content from the Cosmote TV service and torrent it (piracy).

So as you understand there is no way to disable the display of the annoying number.

On the other hand, since the number shown to us is the same, it can probably be used to identify "naughty" end users. The number does not exist on the site My Cosmote but that doesn't mean the company doesn't have other data that isn't visible to account holders.

If someone from Cosmote reads us and wants to give us an official reply, they can do so via email, at [email protected] or [email protected]
