You shouldn't-simple as. If the 'service' you are getting from anyone is rubbish, then vote with your feet & go elsewhere. A contract works 2 ways & is also there to protect customers.
I'm sure Sky use the old 'you can't leave as you under a 12 month contract' to lots of people (Orange tried it with me after 5 continual months of foul ups), but you didn't sign for poor service, so you can leave (generically speaking)

Which they would be refunding me for if the service was not 'as described' or the box 'was not fit for the purpose it was designed for'

I don't know enough about the Sky/Tivo scenario, so can't comment.

Nothing to do with the fact that they simply offer a superior product then?

Not forgetting the massive investment that they undertook in their upcoming products.
