Anything in the sky will change its position in the sky as the hours pass. Unless it's attached to earth. Geostationary things will move across the sky as the earth revolves. If it's a star it would VERY ( not really noticeably day to day) slowly change it's position as the earth rotates around the sun and our view of the heavens changes in each season. That's why you see it every year at the same time in the same place. Next time you see Orion, look lower and to the left for a very bright Star and look with binoculars and you will see Sirius twinkling in red green and white very distinctly. Orion is probably gone from the sky by this times of the year. Look next winter.

Does that include satellites (for tv, communications, etc)? It seems that if they did move across the sky, the "dish" that picks up the signal would not be pointing in the right direction to receive the signal. My TV cable "dish" is pointed up to the southwest sky to pick up the signal, but it is stationary and does not move to track a signal.
