We have been looking up to get an idea on where Virgin Media UK is getting Al Jazeera English World satellite feed from:

Intelsat 34 - Brazil
Thor 5 - Norway
Intelsat 20 - carries 24 C-band, 54 Ku-band and 1 Ka-band transponders. The C-band covers the Asia-Pacific region, while the Ku-band transponders is used for Direct to Home broadcasting to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Hot Bird 13C - Asia, Europe, Americas, North Africa and the Middle East,

18:55 UPDATE: So if Virgin Media UK is not using the Sky feed (Astra 2G) it look like the feed is coming from Hot Bird 13C as Al Jazeera Arabic Channel is only on Hot Bird 13C in this part of the World.
