U-verse TV Equipment

I have three HDMI connections in the back of my new TV, HMDI 1 has ARC in parentheses, HMDI 2 and HDMI 3 are both blank. Do I connect the U-VERSE to HDMI 1 with ARC in parentheses or either HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 which are both blank.

After changing a channel, about 30 seconds later video/sound lock, goes to signal lost, then will come back in 2-5 minutes. EVERY time channel is changed. Can go to another channel right away, it is there, then locks, signal lost, will come back.

Only

please help, I have added to my original thread

How do I get the recycle label that Att told me to use to recycle this old equipment

It seems the Genie Mini C51-500 on occasion when trying to unpause a show, screen goes black, can't seem to find a repeatable way to bring it back. It almost seems that it has a mind of it's own and the screen goes back to the show on it's own time.
