The BBC Sounds app is only available for Android and iOS devices (plus the Amazon Fire): https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/sounds-intro

Thanks for the reply, Chris. You'd think they would have sorted it.
^^Sorted it, in what way?
Everything available doesn't have to be available everywhere.

I can get the radio, YouTube, I player on my TV, why not sounds?
....because, as I said, not everything was planned to be available on all platforms. Perhaps the BBC may explain more, if you were to ask them.
It is possible, with some jiggery pokery to get android apps to work on your TV, if your tv is using an android OS.

But, it wont be available on the apps within Android I suspect. (Hence the jiggery pokery).
