Go to the ppa, download the .tar.gz and see.

I've got a Samsung TV, and I think the live TV quality is much better on the telly than via my NUC with HD4400 (connected to the same telly), even if I apply the settings given in the first post of this thread (they do improve the quality a lot from the initial situation). Somehow it seems to me that slanted edges would require some anti-aliasing and I can see blockiness caused by compression much more clear. I understood that the deinterlacing with the yadif method is as good as it gets, so that should not be it. Do Intel's drivers leave something to be desired or has the DVB-tuner any impact on this (am using an el cheapo AF9013 tuner currently)?

That's what it should do :-)

always something, Xubuntu 13.10 couldn't handle passthrough audio, Arch and OpenSuse freeze xbmc on playback stop. Ubuntu 14.04 cannot change refreshrate. Also installed KDE, but xbmc jumps from HDMI2 to HDMI1 when you stop playback, couldn't live with KDE anyways.
Looks like I'm out of luck looking for a nice working DE with xbmc running HDMI2 at the same time. Thinking maybe it's time for second gfx card to run xbmc on seperate screen.

@trsqr: Minimal Log please - restart xbmc, play one file that needs deinterlacing (e.g. LiveTV) make 100% sure you have the settings done from the first post.
And also upgrade your OpenELEC - there are new builds since some hours. Your log did not show VAAPI at all.
