Most satellite receivers will only clear 4:2:0. The old AZBoz was one of the very few receivers that had 4:2:2 capability built in as standard. It was quite popular 3-4 years ago when 4:2:2 was used for a lot of feeds.
It is quite easy to clear 4:2:2 channels on your PC by feeding the signal through an application (can't remember the name). But I suspect if they start to use 4:2:2 frequently for feeds they will just encrypt them, just like they do with 4:2:0 feeds.
