Re: Freeview feeding signal to VCR issues.
Why not look on your local Freecycle/Freegle (or post a Wanted ad) for another Freeview box?
These things were everywhere a few years ago, but are rarely needed these days as more people have ditched their old analogue sets.
The other possibility is car boot sales. When I last went to one there were almost as many old Freeview boxes as Footspa's.
Every box I've seen over the years needed the remote to access anything other than power and channel change. As mentioned, you will need to retune regularly.
A lot of Freeview boxes were made by Vestel with various badges so there may be some interchange with remotes, though you'd need to "suck it and see". Again, car boot sales can be good places to find remote controls, often the sellers don't know what they're for and you can usually get them for a quid or less.
