Will it allow me to share media wirelessly to a DLNA enabled TV ?
A simple google lookup would have been faster but just for reference the link has already been provided by handaxe.

How you could use Rygel..
The user story

How does this all affect the user? For a starters there is plenty of DLNA/UPnP devices already out in the market these days: Sony Playstation 3, Nokia's series60 and maemo-based phones, Microsoft XBox 360 (not even real UPnP device but we must support it due to high demand), DLNA speakers, Sony Bravia TV and some other DLNA TVs from Sony & Samsung. Moreoever, the number of DLNA devices inthe market is expected to grow and not shrink. Now suppose a user has a PS3 or one of the DLNA TVs, a laptop or destkop PC running GNOME, one of the DLNA speakers and one of the next generation of Maemo Phones. She would like to be able to:

* Browse her media collection on her PC running GNOME (mobile) from her TV or PS3 and be able to play any of her media. She should even be able to play it even if the original content is in a format that her TV or PS3 is incapable of playing, i-e the media server should be able to transcode on the fly.
* Easily search for the desired media using her phone and be able to play it either on the phone or play it on her TV and/or the PC, while retaining full control over the playback from her phone.
* Before or while watching a movie on her PC, redirect the sound output to her DLNA speakers using her phone.
So yes, you can use this to stream to your DLNA compatible TV.
But i havent tried this yet.
