I've been looking into getting a VPN for security. However, I also subscribe to Sky Stream for my TV does anyone know if there will be any issues with Sky Stream running via a VPN configured on my router?

You could choose to use a split tunnelling VPN, where by default all network traffic goes via the secure VPN, but you selectively exclude specific traffic (in this example Sky Stream) and route the exclusions via your native unencrypted broadband connection.
If you still want to stream video over the VPN, make sure you use the WireGuard protocol (rather than OpenVPN), to minimise buffering and speed issues.
Google searching your question doesn't indicate that Sky Stream via VPN is a problem (unlike Netflix !)
