This could be a bastard to sort because the sound might be traveling up and through the ceiling or floors.
Fitting insulated plasterboard might sort it, but no guarantee.
Do they have the TV on one of the metal shelf, or a wooden cabinet ? If it's on a metal shelf I reckon that would make it much worse, as they have very little mass to act as damping.

You'll need to build an independent wall to make any difference. Prob lose 70mm of floor space but they're very effective if done properly. Check Part E of the Building Regulations for more details.

First thing I did either side of each downstairs fire place when we moved in to our semi.

We have always know our walls between our neighbour are thin, but they've now mounted a TV on Vistoe shelving on the wall that adjoins our two lounges, I can hear the TV word for word, both in my lounge, and in my bedroom which is directly above the lounge.
My understanding is that there is brick with plasterboard on either side, really thinking we might need to rip out the plasterboard and insulate the adjoining walls on this side.
We think this has already been done by the neighbours on the otherside as depsite it being the exact same setup we cannot hear a single thing they do.
