Don't think that the Echostar has DiseqC 1.2, you would need this for the Moteck Diseqc motor, you can of course use a 36v positioner with this receiver and that would be better with the size of dish you mention. There are several good quality LNBs available MTI Blueline and Invacom are just two of them.

For the BBC channels you will be fine, but at the moment for ITV Channel 4 and 5, you will require an aerial.
