>Is there a difference between these two? I know that the Al Jazeera America was to be broadcast here in the USA - although a lot of providers are refusing to transmit the signal (ATT u-verse for example). I found an "Al Jazeera English" stream online (which was difficult as that's blocked in USA now) - but was wondering if the programming is different than that of "Al Jazeera America".

They do have localized versions with more of locally relevant content then original stream. AJ US is sure better then AJ Balkans which I am getting on my cable.
Luckily will get new internet provider soon which have included TV package that includes RT, AJ International, BBC etc.
