I just sold 3 usb3 1.0tb for £50 each on eBay, could hav had one of them

Look for USB 3.0 and make sure it's 2.5" so you won't need to plug it in to a wall socket

Will most TV's not be USB 2.0 anyway?

Id be interested to know how large a full length movie would be.
If I had to guess, your TV would most likely want to see a FAT32 formatted drive which has a maximum file size of ~4gb.

If a full length film is bigger than that it wouldnt work.
