Can't add BBC Sounds to my services

When I try add BBC Sounds to my services on Sonos I get an error that says ‘Check your network connection’. Adding all other services has worked fine, and I’m not having any issues playing from any services I have added so it only seems to be BBC Sounds. Is anyone else having this issue and know a fix?

S1 or S2? (Last I checked, S1 didn’t support BBC Sounds).

What country is your Sonos account set to? May need to be set to UK, wait 24 hours, then add BBC Sounds service, then set it back.

BBC Sounds is not included on the list of services on my Sonos. Yet your guides state it should be. How can I find it? I am in the UK. Thanks.

Have you checked your account settings, as suggested by @controlav ? Go to the Sonos website, and click on the log in account icon, once you’ve done that, go to Profile, and look at your Address. If there’s nothing listed there, then Sonos can’t show you the appropriate services.

@controlav I can confirm BBC sounds is supported by S1 if your address is in the UK.

You still haven’t said if you are running S1 or S2.

From another thread, 

In the Sonos App goto Settings/System/System Updates and hit Check for Updates. This can be necessary to force a refresh of the service list.
