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.

I have the issue on the Sonos 1 app - BBC Sounds not included in the list of services. I looked at my online profile and there’s no address. So I update it to my UK address which comes up as saved and then it reverts back to the US after a few seconds. I’ve tried saving a couple of times. Please help! Sally

Sally, I’d suggest a PM to one of the moderators, or a call to Sonos Support. They appear to be aware of the issue, based on other threads, but haven’t yet, to my knowledge, come up to a good solution. Not that it helps you in any way, but I’m in a similar situation, I can’t change my location, either.

They’ve posted in that thread as well.
