My WiFi has recently changed, and I don't have a remote for the now TV box (I use the app on my phone) my problem is, because the now TV box is not connected to the new WiFi and my phone is, I can't sync my phone to the now TV box. Could someone help me? How do I connect the now TV box to the new WiFi with no remote only phone app?

If you had a Stick in this situation, you’d be Stuck, but as it’s a box and not a Stick, it has an Ethernet port, so you can wire it to your router that way, regain control of it with the mobile app, and set up the WiFi.
This does mean that you need to position the box within reach of a mains socket for power, and with an HDMI cable to a TV so you can see what’s going on, and an Ethernet cable to the router to make the temporary connection so you can set it up, and this may be easy or hard depending on how your kit is physically arranged; but it should be doable.
