Connecting HDMI Switcher to TV

[VICTORIA]

Hi I have just bought HDMI Switcher with remote control to switch between DVD player and other sky box. My TV does not have a usb port only HDMI output. In the past I used HDMI splitter to use DVD player and Sky box ( no remote ) I did not have any problems as soon as I switched on dvd player it appeared on tv screen. My dvd player broke down so I had to get another one. Now if I want to play dvd I have to unplug Sky box for dvd to appear on TV This HDMI Switcher has to be connected to USB port. Is there a ? cable that connects to HDMI connection on back of TV that has USB connector Hope I have made this clear.

My new DVD Player is Philips BDP 2110/05 Blu-Ray Disc/DVD Player
The Splitter with remote is HDMI 5T01 Switch
As mentioned before My previous splitter did not have remote and I can use now but I have to disconnect plug from my sky box to use dvd player If I switch dvd player on before disconnecting sky box dvd player is not shown on my TV.
Yes my TV has one HDMI input

Hi

ST01 "which has not only key-press-switching function, but also has IR remote control and intelligent function."

The intelligent function possibly means that the last unit switched on is the one getting/holding the connection.

Sounds to me like you do not need to unplug anything, just press "play" or "on/off" to switch to DVD, and select anything, or "on/off" on the sky remote to switch (back) to the "TV sky transmissions".

ps What was all the "USB" mentions in your first post?

There is no USB input on my TV only HDMI

Connect splitter "out" to tv "in"
 using hdmi-hdmi cable

Connect sky box hdmi "out"
 to splitter hdmi "in" socket 1
 using another hdmi-hdmi cable.
Connect bluray box hdmi "out" [ on rear of bluray box ]
 to splitter hdmi "in" socket 2
 using yet another hdmi-hdmi cable.
[ you do not use the usb socket on the front of the bluray box ]

Errrrm.

Don't you have the hdmi-hdmi cables from your previous set-up?

Didn't the sales person advise you . . . . . ?

Didn't the splitter come with instructions?
