I remember now that there was a discussion about tunerless backends
recently. An unsupported configuration that seems to work. Since, in
this situation, running the backend in a VM would only be a very
temporary (a few hours at most) solution the fact that it's not a
supported config seems somewhat irrelevant.

I'm not familiar with the Freebox/IP Recorder. I'll google it and find
out what I can do with one.
