Using HDMI (EArc) and other HDMI Plugs on Roku TV

Can you confirm that when adding Dish TV to the TV, I should use either HDMI #2, #3 or #4. And that I should use HDMI (Earc) for only the sound bar? I plan to buy your sound bar for 5.1.

    Yes. You should plug your Dish TV into the HDMI port of your Roku TV and you should use the HDMI (eARC) port to plug in your Roku soundbar.
