The audio issue is simple. Buy a scart with phone breakout lead, should be available from any decent high street shop that does hi-fi including the Currys / Comets type places, or Maplins.

If the STB is freezing on a regular basis, and has been replaced, it implies the signal is not quite in tolerance on the cable feed. You need an engineer to test and adjuste the levels. Phone faults.

As for the remote control that's a toughie. The remote control signalling method is the issue. Many of the Pace STBs used IrDA as the infra red signalling. That is acutally less common, and throw out most remote sender units. The more standard RC5 signalling is used by the Samsung STBs. Most senders will work, but perhaps not the ones that were designed for the Pace STBs.
