Sound Bar Connection

[Gargois1]

I have a dish network receiver connected to my smart TV via HDMI. I also have a Sony Blu-ray player connected to the TV via HDMI. I have a Polk Sound Bar that is connected to the dish receiver via a digital optical cable. This works great for the TV sound but I have no sound from the Blu-ray player. If I move the digital optical cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into the digital output on the TV will I get sound from the TV and the Blu-ray player?

Yes you will.
Check the TV manual on how to use the optical output. You may have to turn it on, turn the TV speakers off, and change the audio output type to get it working.
