Quick question. For this, I have an example point. (BBC2 HD) A nip around DigitalBitrate reveals that all of the BBC2 HD variants are broadcast in some form of AC-3 on satellite and cable. (BBC2 Wales HD and BBC2 NI HD are broadcast in 2.0 Stereo on satellite with BBC2 England/Scotland HD being in 5.1 Surround. I don't know about cable because all of the BBC2 HD variants are encrypted and DigitalBitrate doesn't specify a type of AC-3 for encrypted channels) A look for BBC2 HD on Freeview shows AAC Stereo. Is there a technical issue preventing HD channels broadcasting AC-3 audio on Freeview?
