There are thousands of satellites; most of them change their position rather fast.

best to get intouch with military or nasa to find out
there are none
Time and position of the satellites.
Every GPS unit needs a minimum of four (4) satellites to compute a 3-dimensional position, and performs more accurate calculations with more satellites. I think my TomTom is capable of using 12 simultaneous satellites if it can see that many. Yours may be different.
There are currently 32 GPS satellites Orbiting earth at 20,000Kms above sea level There are also 24 GLONASS satellites (The russian version of a GPS satellite) Which many high end GPS receivers will use in conjunction with the standard GPS satellites. These orbit a little lower than GPS at arond 19,000Kms above sea level. There are 4 Galileo Satellites, which are currently un used, but are the start of the European satellite constealltion which is a work in progress. They orbit at 24,000Kms above sea level. On top of all that, there are 10 Chinese navigation satellites called COMPASS orbiting in an orbit above China and Asia. They orbit at around 21,000 Kms above sea level.
You need 4 to locate a position. There are 24 satellites in use in the sky with 8 spares.
Modern uses are to merely name different stars and to locate them in the sky.
The Nextel GPS tracking system acquires its signal by searching for satellites that are in the sky in the area and by calculating the user's position based on those satellites.
about 3,000
No they don't move fast in the sky
If you have the correct decoder box, and you know the position in the sky, the sky dish is just a satellite receiver so it can be used to pick up any one that is up there. You may have to change the LMB , I am not sure on that.
It takes at least 3 satellites.
Name all the Satellites
Yes. There are many satellites that are geostationary. That is they remain fixed over the same relative position of the Earth. In the night sky, it would appear to not move in relation to the background stars and other stellar bodies.
I think its about 50..
22,340 miles above the equator.
A SKY Dish is a brand name for the commonly known satellite dish. It acts as an antennae attached to a building to receive microwaves from satellites. In return it transmits broadcasts such as television or other data.
