I'm learning French and I've heard a T.V. called "television" and also "televiseur". What do they both mean?
ps sorry for the missing accents, my alt codes aren't working.

Télévision is the whole concept of television; téléviseur is just the television set. What's on TV tonight? - use the first one; I'm going to buy a new TV tomorrow - use the second.

Televiseur indicates the device

@critical:Je suis ok avec toi.
It's the same thing,
téléviseur=télévision.
In france we say "télé" for both.
