why not both
Why can't you have Sky Q and Sky Stream in the same home. Is it a technical issue of subscription control

Re: why not both
Sky has never permitted two generations of its products at the same address: there's no technical reason for this with Q / Stream that I can think of, but that's what they choose to do.

AFAIK You can have Sky Q and NOW in the same home as they have separate accounting systems

Re: why not both
I have 3 mini boxes. I know you can only connect 2 at a time, but the third one I have will simply not connect. A Sky Enginner spen 4 hours at the home trying to connect last Saturday with no success. Yet the mini box not connecting is the nearest to the main Sky Q box and in the hot spot for the house Wifi, so thinking Sky Stream just to replace the failing mini box connection

Re: why not both
Now you've confirmed you have Sky Q I've moved your thread from the Sky+ board.

As indicated, that won't be possible, I'm afraid.

@SnoooTwo Yes

@SnoooTwo if the replacement is also not connecting get back in touch with sky and tell them that you are not receiving the service your paying for and it needs sorting
given that Q hardware is loaned to you sky are obligated to sort out one way or another
