Welcome to the forum. If you've lost the remote for the NOW TV box you could use the official Roku remote app for mobiles/tablets but this needs the box to be connected to the same wifi network as your phone/tablet so won't help you in this case. You would need a remote or an euivalent remote eg some models of Roku boxes.
Is there any particular reason the box isn't connected to the wifi network?

Is the new flat I just moved in. I found everything except the remote. I can’t connected it to the WiFi without the remote is that true?

@Anonymous User So presumably the box is still looking for the old wifi network and you can't connect it to the new wifi network because you haven't got a remote?

Yea
that’s probably right

@Anonymous User As long as you haven't tried to hard reset the NOW TV box then with fingers crossed and a bit of luck you should be able to solve it. Let me know if you still have your old router from your previous house or not and I'll do my best to help!

Do not have the old router.
i haven’t touched the now tv box but on my tv it say let’s get started so I presume that it want start from the beginning the set up. I’ve got the app on my iPad but not on my tv is Panasonic

@Anonymous User Oh I'm afraid that's a bit of bad news as it looks like the box needs setting up from scratch and unfortunately there's no way to do that with the remote app, the only way to set it up now is with a physical remote.
Easiest way would be to find a friend or family member with a remote you can borrow.
If not you can buy a replacement remote from the Sky Store. The link is here https://accessories.sky.com/catalogue/now-tv/all
The alternative is to buy a new box - Currys are selling them for about £20 at the moment with 3 months entertainment pass which if you subscribe to NOW TV entertainment already makes it in effect free.
It's worth downloading the official Roku Remote app on your iPad from the App Store as a reserve remote for the future but unfortunately it won't help in this case.

Thank you. I thought so that would be the case. I saw now tv box and 2 months cinema pass in Argos for £12 Minot just do that. But for now I am still in for a lookout lol in my sons toy box 🙂 thanks again
