I have installed a switcher to work between my laptop and TV. It works fine manually but when I use the remote it doesn't switch and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Some of the low cost remotes are very (very, very) directional. Try with the remote next to the sensor.

 

Also check the remote is transmitting by pointing it at your phone camera, you should see the IR LED flickering when you press a button.

Why would a TV remote control an external switcher box?

Unless you are switching TV input sources from say HDM1 (Laptop) to HDMI2 (Set top box)  on the actual TV.

It is not the TV remote I am using. I have shown the switcher remote in the photo. I may be 80 but I am not completely stupid.

Sorry I did not realise from your picture that it was a(nother) remote just for the switcher.

By the way, I got a suspension for using the word 'stupid' about someone. But of course, you are saying 'not stupid'     LOL

So you are switching between Laptop into your telly, and TV box into it. Are there not two HDMI inputs on your telly? Easy if there were.
