When I Google "Sirius LEO GEO" I find this link though that suggests that the Sirius satellites "move". Maybe this is what you mean by your inclined orbit? Sirius is definitely not a LEO (Low Earth Orbiter) by any means. And it has a 24 hr period so it is Geo. But it may also have an eccentric orbit in addition to inclination in order to stay in the northern hemisphere longer each orbit. I'll have to check. Inclination = orbital plane different than the plane of the equator Eccentricity = a measure of how non-circular the orbit is with the more non-circular the orbit having a higher eccentricity.
