It is clearly technically possible for both Stream and SkyQ to exist on the same network/property, it is also clearly possible for customers to have more than one sky account at a single address (witness sky mobile users), so why is this deemed 'impossible' and apart from when attempting to order the Stream (knowing it needs a spearate account, no issue this end with that!) no-one I spoke to yesterday mentioned that this wasn't possible. Complaint in and awaiting a sensible answer. Just why Sky won't allow this is just daft....
It's definitely technically possible but I reckon it's probably largely down to the complicated account management that it would necessitate. Sky Signature on Q offers different channels and different means of linking Netflix account tiers (by adding HD & UHD) compared to how Sky's streaming service offers it. If the two different accounts were in operation under one customer then it would no doubt cause havoc with how the billing and linking would work.
The only way I could see it working would be if Netflix was completely removed from the equation and the customer was willing to pay over the odds for two completely separate packages which basically offer the same channels on two different services. So, in other words, paying twice. Pointless.
Sky's IT infrastructure already feels like its hanging by a thread sometimes (it certainly doesn't function particularly smoothly or particularly fast) so I doubt we'll ever see the day where Q and Stream are offered together.
