X10 generally is crap.  But their video is not the same technology as their
RF remotes and powerline devices.  About the only thing from X10 that
doesn't completely suck is their RF remotes.  The video senders are garbage
as are the powerline devices.  But at least the powerline devices can be
made to 'suck less' using 3rd party devices.  Your simplest solution might
be to start with a powerline X10 relay control and one of the many PC-to-X10
interfaces.
