DISH Network currently owns & leases a total of 14 satellites.
There are thousands of satellites in Earth's orbit, with estimates ranging from 2,200 to over 3,000 active satellites. Additionally, there are many more inactive or defunct satellites and debris in orbit.

Communication satellites are lifted into orbit by rockets.
Satellites cannot orbit the US; they orbit the Earth, and there are several thousand of them.
With large number of low-earth-orbit satellites and the geo-synchronous orbit stuffed full of communications satellites, there aren't all THAT many "medium" altitude satellites. But there are some. The GPS navigation satellites, for example, are in highly inclined 12-hour orbits, and an unknown number of military "spy" satellites are in that middle range.

A satellite dish tracking a geosynchronous satellite would remain fixed in a specific direction, as geosynchronous satellites maintain a constant position relative to the Earth's surface. In contrast, a dish tracking a satellite in low Earth orbit would need to move continuously to follow the satellite's rapid movement across the sky, as these satellites orbit the Earth at much lower altitudes and complete an orbit in about 90 minutes. Thus, the motion of the dish can indicate the type of satellite being tracked.
