My god, that's the other thing about the Osprey boxes. They are very loud. Very, very, very loud!
Do you compensate for the volume by reducing gain in the encoder settings?
No I just leave it. It honestly doesn't bother me.
Tested the ESPN Unlimited Disney+ Hulu $35 bundle to get the ESPN linear channels working in ADB with the Hulu App:
It does work! Thanks for the advise @nateg

Wondering if anybody has had any luck finding these ESPN channels Deep Links for the ESPN App or Disney+ App?
I think the Hulu standalone app will be phased out this year, so this will probably will stop working when that happens and need Disney + or ESPN+ Deep Links.
Update: There is one thing that is a little annoying, when the Hulu app closes after going idle, it makes you select your profile on startup each time.
I created a custom ADB configuration that changed the "post_tune_commands" to use "input keyevent 4" two times, so my fire tv command just presses "back twice" on exit, so the Hulu app doesn't close and the select profile message won't pop up every time.
Note: I've updated my fire tv's to not sleep with the "settings put system screen_off_timeout 2147460000" command, that is also explained below:

PS: When you signup for the ESPN Unlimited Disney+ Hulu bundle, you must activate Hulu in the email confirmation for the ESPN channels to work/show up in the FireTv Hulu standalone app.
@Brando85 no worries. I don’t think the mouse house is going to give up on their live tv offering. I suspect that they would fold it in to their Disney app at some point. One would hope they would maintain deeplinking, and we would just just have to swap out hulu.com to Disney.com on these.
@nateg Yeah definitely, I was just reading that the stand alone Hulu app will shutdown sometime this year and only work under the Disney+ app

It’s brand confusion or something I guess, but Hulu has been owned by Disney for a long time. Certainly ever since there has been Hulu with live tv that has been Disney in the background. They are killing an app, that’s all. It will be Disney with live tv at some point.
