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.

It's probably itv that don't have the technical stuff to broadcast the DD signal then.
