Perhaps because the browser manufacturers cannot agree on a single codec for video support in HTML5 (Apple and Microsoft support h264, Opera and Mozilla support another). OK. Flash supports a couple but TV companies (like Virgin) know that there is a fair chance the average user has Flash available, and while Flash supports a few different codecs, they know whichever they pick will be supported by the user's browser.
I like HTML 5, and I believe that if the browser manufacturers can actually co-operate then it could become a potent force in video streaming.
