fozzy: You can add the streams directly to TransEdit 4.1.0 Beta.
See Arqiva IPTV Streams (inc Motors TV) - Freeview - Digital Spy Forums
Copy the text in the Code box to a new text file.
In the TransEdit menu, go to Info->Configuration Folder and save it as dttstreams.m3u to the Transponders folder.
Close TransEdit.
Run TransEdit; dttstreams should now appear in the left window pane.
Select dttstreams and, in the right window pane, double-click the stream you want (Motors TV).
TransEdit will connect to the internet and a Scanner window will open with 'service1' at the top.
Double-click 'service1' to play the stream.

MOTORS TV UK is back on the BSkyB box.
Though scrambled and therefore requiring a working BSkyB smartcard, it is 'Free To View' so no subscripion is needed.

Treated myself to a new toy: August DVB-T210 - HD Freeview USB TV Tuner - External DVB-T2
August DVB-T210 - HD Freeview USB TV Tuner - External DVB-T2 Digital Television Receiver and PVR Style Recorder - WINTV Dongle for High Definition PCTV - Desktop and Laptop Compatible Stick for Windows 10, 8, 7 / Vista / XP: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
My aim was to get a (cheap) T2 device compatible with CrazyScan2:
CrazyScan download | SourceForge.net
CrazyScan2 is a DTT Spectrum analyser that draws Constellation Diagrams and shows RF Level and Signal to Noise in dB.
I had read that the August DVB-T210 was equivalent to the Geniatech T230, which is fully supported (RFScan2, SignalInfo2, and IQScan2) when using the fixed Geniatech BDA driver found here:
CrazyScan / Wiki / Info
I always wondered if I might be able, with a bit higher signal, to get some other multiplexes than those from Winter Hill.
Now, using CrazyScan2, I can see that is not possible, at least without pointing the aerial somewhere else.
Here is a picture showing CrazyScan2 and the August DVB-T210 in action:

Note I'm using a fair sized 'contract' C/D aerial located in the loft, got from Wizard for three squid twenty or more years ago.

fozzy: Yes, try this: Open notepad and paste the following into it:
#EXTINF:0,Motors TV
http://stream.arqiva.tv/m…rstv
Save it and rename to MotorsTV.m3u
You can play it with VLC media player, mpc-hc, etc.

fozzy: Glad you got it working, at least in VLC.
It's useful (and interesting) to get it working in TransEdit.
Try this:
Run TransEdit 4.1.0 Beta.
Click New List and choose TS Stream
In the URL field enter http://stream.arqiva.tv/m…rstv
In the Description field enter Motors TV
Click Add
Select the stream and click Analyze
From the TS Analyzer window you can Preview, right-click the PAT, Select PIDs and Start Recording.
As for updates, look to the source of the info, I can't help there.

Over on DS, someone said:
"On my Sky+ HD box with variety pack, CH5 HD is on 105 and the SD variant is on 171.
On my Sky HD box with no card, CH5 SD is on 105, but the HD variant isn't anywhere on the EPG. Shouldn't it be listed?"
Digital Spy Forums - View Single Post - Sky & Satellite Weekly News Thread, Week #9
In fact, there are five services that might be expected to appear on the No-Card-Bouquet but do not:
171 Channel 5HD
433 BT Sport EurHD
537 YESTERDAY
538 YESTERDAY+1
973 ITV1 London
On the No-Card 'BSkyB Bouquet' which defaults, or so it would seem, to London-England, we have:
101 BBC One Lon
102 BBC Two Eng
103 ITV1 Central West
104 Channel 4
with the +1s as:
131 ITV1+1 London
135 Channel 4 +1
and:
178 ITV1 HD London
Note also that Channel 4 and its +1 are the London versions with Audio Description.
It is obvious that ITV1 Central West does not belong here, and even if it did, ITV1 London should appear on 973 for the purpose of Audio Description, as it does in every UK region where it is not on 103.

Freesat Transponder Moves
Transponder moves always involve a change of the original_network_id.transport_stream_id.service_id combination.
Freesat employ DVB Standard EIT, which uses ONID.TSID.SID as its unique service identifier.
Thus Freesat transponder moves mean the EIT data for the services involved, has to be linked to new ONID.TSID.SIDs, resulting in a discontinuity in the flow of EIT data.
BSkyB use the EPGID as the basis for their EIT, which normally remains fixed over transponder moves, so don't have this problem.
