MOV format, MOV is an audio video file format developed by Apple for storing digital media. MOV has the advantage of supporting the multi-platform and the file capacity is small and there is the video screen effect than the AVI format to be slightly better.

a MOV is just a container format, holding video, audio, image or subtitle files in it. The video and audio files in different MOV files can be encoded with different codecs. Apple only produces a QuickTime plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows, and hasn't developed a QuickTime application for TV.

If you want to get MOV files onto TV, you need convert MOV (QuickTime) to TV friendly format i.e. MP4 and then get it play.
