Hey @GeordieShores ,
so sorry to hear that you feel let down here. It seems that to use the in-built feature the TV needs to be on. However, you may be able to connect this to an Alexa speaker by downloading the Alexa app on your phone, and enable the SmartThings skill so you can turn this on with voice commands.

@GeordieShores Unfortunately the Technology does not appear to work with Tv switched off. Certainly should be able to connect a speaker by connecting Smart Things and enabling skills though as @TessM mentioned. For anyone interested more information here https://www.samsung.com//support/tv-audio-video/connect-amazon-alexa-with-smartthings/
I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

I have put the other Alexa back on the TV stand and disabled the Alexa auto listen. You now need to press the mic button on the smart remote to talk to the TV Alexa. I can give all of the commands on the proper Alexa beside the TV anyway which sort of renders the built-in Alexa useless.
