All very aggravating! Right now, I'm leaning towards returning the docking station and sticking with hooking the laptop up to the tv.
I agree. It is a major inconvenience. When I got my 80Gb Classic they didn't even have the dock connector video cables, and I often use my iPod in the car to play stuff for my daughter, so I was driving around with a dock and video cable... It took them 2 months to get the cables out there.
