Correct. The word 'televisor' hung around in the English language for some time after WW2, just like Pye's affectation of using the obsolete word 'shew' for 'show' - it was considered obsolete even by the end of the Victorian era.
'Television' itself is an offence to classicists, as it is half Latin and half Greek.

That reminds me of a packing case we once had here - or maybe even still have. Branded into the wooden lid of the case it said; "Deposit cannot be refunded unless original receipt is shewen upon return " Obviously from an era when even the packaging from purchased goods had some value, a charge levied against them, and an incentive to return them, in the form of a refundable deposit.
Do you remember getting 3d refund on glass 'pop' bottles in the late 60's?
Imagine that on a cardboard box or plastic pop bottle today!

Even in the 1970s I do - the local soft drink producer was Adcocks and they had bottles with refundable deposits.

Except it's not a 'whiskey' [sic] jug of course.
Soda siphons in the 50's had a Half Crown deposit on them, the soda was 1s so that was 3/6, really made you take them back, unfortunately I could keep the pennies from the jam jars but not the Half Crown.
