I recently had a pro box installed the engineer had a few problems with it but eventually it worked fine when he left i noticed my soundbar was not working, because he had used the arc port which was the only one that would work,this is useless to me because of hearing issues, i decided to refit the bt box and my soundbar worked fine,the issue is i cannot get netflix now which originally fine i am getting a message your plan does not support streaming on this device , so i am left with netflix crap sound or no netflix with soundbar wish this pro box was never sent out

There's no valid reason why your DTR-T4000 (old BT box) would work on your TV, and not the TV Box Pro. If you connect the TV Box Pro into the HDMI port currently used by the old box, what issue do you have?
The other option is that you can choose to pay for a Netflix upgrade - the plan included with your subscription is "Netflix Standard with Ads" which doesn't work on the older box as they don't support the ads. If you upgrade to the next level, you won't get the ads. It is an older box though - your better option would be to use the TV Box Pro.

Sorry yes, I understand that - I'm not sure why the engineer couldn't do better. Do you know what didn't work though? If you swap the box back now, what happens?

Please remove the old BT TV box from the HDMI port, and then plug the TV Box Pro into that same port, and then let me know what happens? There's no reason why the TV Box Pro shouldn't work in the HDMI port that the old box is currently in.

There's no reason why the ARC port would affect the ethernet connection.
There are 2 ways forward:
1. You reconnect the TV Box Pro, and we work together to find what's wrong - I'll need to know the exact error that is shown.
2. You can pay to upgrade your Netflix to a plan that will work on the older TV Box.

Sending the box back won't put you back on your old subscription @Gerryp56 - it's no longer available, as Netflix don't sell it anymore. All customers will be moved across to the new subscription eventually.
It really shouldn't be difficult - just swap the cables from the old box to the new box and see what happens. I just can't diagnose the problem without knowing what the error actually was.
