Motors TV is now available through a normal Freeview channel, channel 71. But because it is compressed, you need an HD or YouView box to get it. Alternatively, it is still available for longer hours via Freeview's IPTV channel 240 courtesy of the rather niche Arqiva Connect TV service.

you do get:
Aljazeera HD
Community HD
4HD+1
4/7HD
Movie Mix
Motors
movies 4 men
True entertainment
Trutv
But I don't think the freeview list will excite you enough to them!
Freesat is missing the UK TV channels, but does have:
you get the freetime box!
BET
all the CBS channels
more movies
the True entertainment/movie channels
RTHD
NHK HD
IrishTv
more music/children's channels than the other free tv options
So its swings and roundabouts.

The retail YouView box has better on-demand service with access to Now TV (on-demand films all-you-can-eat only at present), Sky Box office (PPV film rental), Netflix, and UKTV. Boxes connected up to TalkTalk or BT have more on-demand services and also additional pay tv channels.
Freesat does not offer Now TV, Sky Box Office, Netflix or UKTV. It does offer CurzonOnDemand. BT YouView also offers this.
