I do not, yet, have money to invest in a home cinema system, so i thought i might connect the tv (panny lxd70) to my hifi system (2.1). both the tv and hifi have rca connectors. would doing this make that much of a difference than to using the tv's speakers?

any advice would be appreciated

It sure will make things louder and put you on the first step to a home cinema system !!

In the expectation that the speakers of your 2.1 sound system are superior to the speakers in your TV set (and at this quality level that isn't assured) then yes, it should sound better/different.

The word "hifi" is bandied about far to often these days. In the great scheme of things HiFi should mean "high fidelity", something that is rarely achieved on amp and speaker systems costing less than £130.
