A reply from ITV regarding subtitles on ITVHD, not looking good.

" ITV HD is a new service. The initial focus for our engineering team is to ensure that the HD channel is up and running and working correctly and efficiently. The team will then be in a position to look at the provision of access services for ITV HD, such as subtitles and audio description, and configure the operational standards for the platforms on which the channel operates.

It is unlikely that ITV HD will carry AD or subtitles until much later in the year or even into next year. However, we do appreciate the importance of access services to many of our viewers and would like to assure you that provision of subtitles, audio description and signing will continue as normal on the main ITV1 service in the meantime."
