I've left my remote for my NowTV box at home, and want to set up my box at my parent's house - I've downloaded the Roku app, but it doesn't work unless the Now TV device is already connected to the internet which it isn't. How do I start the set-up process without my remote control?
Any help greatly appreciate - valueable cricket watching time being missed!

Welcome to the forum.
Assuming you have just unplugged your NOW TV box and taken it with you (ie you haven't done a hard reset of the box with the intention of setting it up from scratch) then you could connect the box (if it is a black Now TV box) up to the router with an Ethernet cable and then power up the box. The Roku remote app should see the box and you can use it to set up a wireless connection.
Or if you don't have an Ethernet cable, you could change the wireless network name and password on your parents' router (if it doesn't cause a family row!) to match those you use at home, and then when you power the box up it will think it is seeing your home wifi and connect to it.
