You have two options:
1) use a large monitor. This will be crystal-clear and the resolution would be much better than a normal TV.
2) use an S-Video connection. This will only work if you have an S-Video output on your laptop; it's a round connector that looks somewhat like a mouse port. This is what an S-Video connection looks like:

The problem you run into is whether or not you have a TV that has an S-Video input. A few years ago, these were pretty scarce, and now they are on any high-end TV, but a generic $50 TV from the local K-Mart won't have an S-Video in. I don't know if it is possible to convert from S-Video to composite (which is the technical term for the yellow-red-white A/V plugs you're used to); I think you just short the chroma and luma pins together on an S-Video connection (that is, if you have an S-Video cable to destroy).
In short, you probably want to either find a projector, monitor, or watch the webcasts on your laptop screen. Sorry.
