Soundbar/Dish

[goducks10]

I have my 211 with a Pathway X2 hooked up to run through my Samsung soundbar then to the TV. When initially setting up the the TV shows an off and on fuzzy picture making it so you can't see the main page to start the satellite search.
If I disconnect from the soundbar and run the 211 directly to the TV it works normally. After the X2 has locked on to all the sats and I have everything working I can then disconnect the 211 from the TV and reroute it through the soundbar and it works like it should.

What would be causing the 211 and X2 ro not be able to run the setup through the soundbar to TV, but after all is setup and locked on to sats I can then run all through the sounbar?

Thats how my soundbar instructions say to set it up. Device-Soundbar-TV
Yes the soundbar has an HDMI(ARC) in and HDMI out.
I do the same at home with my home theater setup. Every component runs through the receiver then there's one HDMI out for the TV.

So - are you saying that your sound bar has video/HDMI inputs and outputs? I run all inputs (Wally, DVD player, etc.) into the TV first and the audio output from the TV to the sound bar. That way I have audio via the sound bar no matter the A/V source I'm using. I've never heard of the issue you're describing.
