Audio issues on Direct TV Stream

I hope some DIrect TV engineers see this note.

Several channels have terrible audio compressors set up very wrong.

A loud sound effect or music stinger drops the level quickly and takes a good 9-10 seconds to recover. Dialog right after a loud hit like this is so low you can’t even hear it. I’m a professional sound mixer for TV and film so I know what I’m talking about. Don’t you people watch your own systems? It’s ridiculous.

Nashville TN based on these channels:

385 - Heroes & Icons (level changes)

4491 Unexplained Zone

(extreme compression causing level shifts)

277 Travel channel

284 Science - not too bad but similar
