Philips hue play bar lights - can you sync to tv without a sync box? (And use a VPN)

I got 2 hue play bars and set up behind my tv. I have a bridge but I didn’t realise I might need a sync box too 
is there anyway of syncing the play bars to my tv without a sync box? And also keep my VPN running on my tv? (Using a firestick)

    As far as I’m aware only new(ish) Samsung TVs have the option to download the Hue Sync App. Any other TV will require the Hue Sync Box to have the lights match what’s on the screen.

    I was going to download the hue sync app on my oled and get the ambient light strip but i thought the tv app wouldn't connect to other lights aside from the strip, is it possible then, how are they connected?
