Hi 

Just bought a Beam and connected to system with existing Play 5. Works fine in a group while playing music, but the minute I change to tv the Play5 drops out of the group.  
 

Anyone got any ideas?

You likely have the option Ungroup on Autoplay enabled which means any grouped rooms are ungrouped when TV audio is initiated.

Go to the Beam’s room settings and disable the toggle.
