You can stream video (and audio) from your tablet to a single, specific PC using gstreamer and this how-to. It isn't great quality, however.

A note about the how-to: You don't need all of those gstreamer packages; for that how-to, you only need:
  • gstreamer0.10-tools
  • gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
  • gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-extra
  • gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

Even that list is probably overkill.
