The time for one (stable) orbit is directly linked to the orbital radius. At one particular radius (geostationary), the resultant stable orbit velocity is exactly enough to match the rotation of the earth, keeping the satellite overhead at all times.
This geostationary radius is approximately 42 000 km from earths centre and most geostationary satellites are roughly in the equatorial plane.

What is isochronous satellites?
An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.

Why communication satellites are stationed geostationary orbits?
the communication satellites take 24 hours to complete their one revolution around the earthso the orbit of revolving satellite is called geostationary orbit.
Can US soldiers stationed in Iraq use satellite radios XM or Sirius and would they be able to receive the signal?
Not according to sirius customer service, you CAN listen online but you can't use a portable player. Satellite radio service is beamed to earth from satellites in orbit. XM had two satellites, one over the eastern US and the other over western US. Sirius presumably had the same setup. No satellite reception is possible out of range of those satellites.
