In Dutch, the most used words are the same for the content and the set: televisie, also TV for short or sometimes televisietoestel (toestel means equipment or set) for long.
In German, it's Fernseh for the content and Fernseher for the set. Fern means distant and seher means something that sees (or enables seeing).

In the UK, video recordings are sometimes called "videograms". You find it used in copyright notices and other legal documents, but otherwise it's rarely, if ever used.
