First, I'm puzzled how the docking station manages to output in component video when the laptop has only VGA and S-Video. Unless there's some other connector on the laptop that the dock can utilize, I'm guessing it's doing some type of VGA to component conversion.

Your best bet is that VGA to DVI cable that alamarco suggested. You should be able to drive the HDTV at 1920x1080 or 1280x720 if those are resolutions supported by the video card in the laptop. When I connected my nVidia card via VGA to my HDTV, I had dozens of resolution options to choose among.

As for the streaming issue, I encourage you to look into ps3mediaserver, a cross-platform Java application that gets excellent reviews as a transcoding server. I'm pretty sure it supports streaming to the Xbox360 as well as the PS3.
