Well the champions league final was simulcast on SKY sports and ITV HD in may, the production company was exactly the same except sky had 5.1 and itv didn't, not even on freesat.. the exact same satellite that sky broadcasts on. Given the ITv and BBc both started to test HD transmission at the same time, the BBC always test broadcast a 5.1 signal even if it was psuedo, ITV never have. Maybe they don't have a real interest in it, where if you listen to BBC content producers they do have a real passion for producing programes with emersive sound and video.
In years to come ITV will probably be about as relevent as Channel 5.
