Your calculations are perfectly correct, there is more to it than the immediate transfer time. There's a lot waiting time before the satellite is set up between each data package is sent (compare it to the handshake time in POTS time fidonet), there's the converting of the signal at both the receiving and the transmitting side and a lot more.

If cable for the video was available, I'm sure the audio would have been sent that way too, it wouldn't mean all that extra.
All in all, internet via satellite was an exciting idea 20+ years ago, but now is as outdated as a POTS modem call -- that I actually used for distributing updated versions of the various programs I made for the Psion Corporation back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Hence my BBS name: -=P=I=X=-, Psion Information eXchange.
