I have Samsung 55" LED H6400 + Samsung HT-J5550 + Dish TV Box

I have connected my HT with HDMI ARC & also got Dish TV Box connected through HDMI 1. When i turn on everything i am unable to have TV Audio through HT. Unless if i remove Dish HDMI it starts working fine.

to hear Dish audio i have to remove Dish HDMI one audio starts i reconnect the Dish. it can damage my HDMI and also it is very annoying. Any help would be appreciated

Try turning off CEC in the TV. CEC allows components to interact over HDMI so for instance if you turn on the Dish Box it might turn on the TV and go to the HDMI input it's connected to. The problem is that there isn't a strict standard about the way it works so it often screws up. Hope that solves your problem.
You could also try using an optical cable to get the TV audio into the HTS. Use a Non ARC HDMI Input for the HTS for playback.
