I think there is a hindi channel in India as Doorddarshan. But we can also coin words for that , after all our language is also rich.
I have a few suggestions here. we will select democratically
1. "Doordarshan yantra". Seems more like choreko.
2. "Doordrishya hetu yantra"
3. "Shrabyadrishya taranga bishleshak" This is my favourite, what do you say?
I have other collected and coined words too;
churot; swet lamba chusika
rail gadi: lauha pathagami chakachaka yantra
caculator: ganak yantra
plz do write me feedback also i would like to no if you know tohre typical nepali words.

of the three words for televison, i liked "Shrabyadrishya taranga bishleshak" the best. i would have neve come up with that. i like ur "churot; swet lamba chusika" as well tabponski. can't stop laughing.
so i suppose there is no official word for television in nepali. haven't heard one yet.

"Shrabyadrishya taranga bishleshak" yeslai English ma translate garda Audio Visual Wave Analyst po hudo rahicha, a big diversion from Television :)
What about door drisya yantra?
I thought churot was a Nepali word. Hoina bhane what about the following?
Fokso naasak latthi
Surti bereet patra (or kagaj)
Good ones for rail gaadi and calculator.
Why don't we try to translate some computer accessories and related terms?
Keyboard: sancho paati
Mouse: Musa
mouse arrow or cursor: ghocho
window: jhyaal
internet: antarjaalo
floppy disk: halline chakka
CD: khadilo chakka
motherboard: matree pati
power supply: shaktidaataa
monitor: drisya yantra
video card/cable: drisya paati/taar
Any suggestions for the following?
modem
network card
serial port
printer port
USB
Any other terms?
Last but not least, ek puriya..ke ko puriya ho? Biskoot ko ki chauchau ko ki..ke ko?

Why include "yantra" in Door Dristi. That's a given. Like we don't call it Television Machine.
Also what's the nepali word for INTERNET?
I'd say,
anterjaalo
any other takes?

Here are my choices:
Television= Roopa-Baahinee
Telescope= Door-Darshikaa
Telephone= Dhwani-Baahinee
Cell phone= Kaushik-Dwani-Baahinee
Microphone= Laghu-Dhwani Baahak
Ear phone= KarNa-Dhwani-Graahak
Microscope= Suxma-Darshikaa
Timer= Samaya-Baachak
Database= Tathyaankaadhaar
Printer-port= Mudran-gaah
Email= Vidhyut-Dank
Calculator= GaNak
Computer= Sang-GaNak
Super computer= Ugra-SangGaNak
Note: Personally, I am against Sanskritization of techie words. I have expressed some of my views/arguments on this during my exchange with Biswo ji in his rather an old thread ‘Fantasy Crowds And Revelations’.
“…I am not uncomfortable with the weird translation of English to Sanskrit, but rather with the whole idea of translation/invention/creation of Sanskrit equivalence of every technological term. Can we ever catch/keep up with advances in the field of science and technology happening so fast that we see everyday new terms coming out ? I don’t think we can. We will need a large number of experts who are ever vigilant, up-to-date (actually up-to-hour or up-to-minute) and expert in multiple disciplines. Even this will not be sufficient. Then comes training/informing the public. Then comes popular acceptance and etc etc. So the practical question is- is this a worthy/pragmatic/economical/wise thing to do ?…. “
