At first, I thought these words made a pair just like malsanulejo-hospitalo, where both words are used exactly the same, just having different origins. But, in some chat group I saw people commenting somebody's use of piedpilko. They said that that spekti piedpilkon means looking at the actual ball, and not following the game, which is usually the meaning intended. I'm thinking this pair is more like televidilo-televido, where one is the object and the other the phenomenon as a whole. Am I right?
