This is true and me, too, since I was the finishing editor on this series. As it turned out, the audio post facility was doing the final audio layback and then making an "air master" (digital copy) which was shipped to Discovery. I found out that the dub tech at the audio post facility was monitoring the DB edit master in composite and adjusting the machine to his scopes based on the bars when making the digital copy. He was in manual to do this, so this resulted in several IRE of difference on the copy (versus preset levels). The issue went away when I simply instructed him to leave the machine in preset when making the digital copy (aka "clone") and ignore what his composite scope said.
