According to a single website I found on a web-search "Tele- is a Greek( ) prefix meaning "distant". It can be short for television or telephone." and another web-search reveled "The word television is derived from a mixture of Latin and Greek words meaning 'far sight' i.e. tele meaning far in Greek and visiomeaning sight in Latin."
As to why it's supposedly a combination of Greek and Latin/English (vision not viso) words I still don't know (I'd check for a correlation between the language from the place where it originated and areas that primarily speak Latin and/or Greek/English, or just search for the answer why)
