Can you please supply more information:
What size dish do you have?
Is it motorized or fixed, with several LNB's or even several dishes using a Diseqc switch?
Where abouts is your general location, e.g. North East England?

If you are trying to get the Bein Sports channels, on 7W, the forget it, unless you want to use IPTV.
Many other satellites you should be able to add, providing you have a clear line of sight. The most popular being, apart from the ones you've already listed, 42E, 39E, 23.5E, 10E, 9E, 7E, 5E, 3E, and 30W. There are also a number of satellites that have feeds, if you are interested.
Seeing as you are using Diseqc 1.2, instead of Usals, you will need to add them manually by going into the menu, and depending on the image, you have installed, finding the settings for adding a satellite.
There is a list, on the forum, of the strongest transponders, for various satellites, to help you locate the satellites:
