so thats good news, you can get 7w as well as 26e as long as your dish is set up correctly and getting a direct view to each sat.
MBC2, MBC4 and One TV seem a worthwhile addition, lots of usa series, comedy and films, all in English.
As for Al Jazeera chans they are definitely there. The free-to-air sports chans that you were looking for- ie. Aljazeera Sports1 and Aljazeera Sports2, are named JSC Sports 1 and JSC Sports 2 when you do a scan.
I guess different areas in the uk are gonna need diff size dish, but on doing a bit of reading it seems that Verticals are stronger than Horizontals on 7west and mostly you seem to need 1.2m size on average.
As for 26*East that may be slightly stronger than 7west so that would be best in the uk, but for me I cant get 26east, but have tons of signal on 7w
