    receiver does 4:2:0 and 4:2:2

    I missed a feed this weekend that I really wanted to watch. I had audio but no video. After doing some checking I saw it was broad cast in 4:2:2 format. Is there another receiver that does 4:2:2 besides the quali-tv? I just dont think I can spend that kind of money for a FTA box. Any suggestions.
