As far as a .mov not playing. Is your friend's computer Windows? If it is, I would install VLC and 99% of the time, it will play using that app.

looks like, you exported a 'Master File' in proRes... proRes is only installed on Mac, which have a few 'pro'-apps, such as FCP, Motion or Logix installed.
The actual (who knows in 20y??) format is h.264 in a mp4... such files are compatible with any actual devices...

Just to reinforce the idea that the playability problem isn't the storage device; it is that there is no universal file format that televisions will accept. So one set may require an MPEG-2, another an MP4, another an AVI…and so forth. The choice we have is either research the TV specs or export multiple formats to cover a range of possibilities.
