Default Streaming videos from websites from XOOM to LCD TV

Here is what I'm trying to do. I watch a lot of streams and I would like to connect my xoom to my hdtv which does 1080i so I can watch the streams on a large monitor. however, the quality on my lcd tv is for lack of a better word, crap. Is there anything I can do to improve the quality or am I basically stuck with what I'm getting when I connect my xoom to my tv?

Thanks.

PS- The same can be said of divx files and other movie files I load onto my xoom. They are higher quality on the device than they are on the tv.

Suggest a HTPC/STB connected to the TV, and the Xoom using a remote-access app. Boxee just announced an iPad app for May, and an Android version should follow. XBMC has a beta remote app for Android you can try. Then there are proprietary solutions like Slingbox, Orb, etc.

You don't want to stream FROM the tab. HD-thru-wifi is always iffy, and you'd need double the bandwidth (for vids going to the tab, and from there to the TV). Streaming from HTPC, preferably thru a wired pipe, would also bypass the Netflix/Hulu constraints on mobile devices.
