net-boot like my ION boxes, then I set the playback profile to VAAPI, and
was shocked by the horrible deinterlacing. After further investigation, I
realized that the net-boot root didn't have VAAPI installed, so I was
falling back to the "Normal" profile. Deinterlacing looked just fine
(i.e., enormously better than before) with a working VAAPI profile, so it
seemed clear that VAAPI is doing at least something for deinterlacing.
BTW, I was almost as shocked that the Normal profile's software decoding
and rendering on the Liva was basically smooth for HD-PVR recordings.
