Because in the above analogy you mentioned moving somewhere where the erection of dishes is not allowed. Sky might well be able to assert that you can recieve the services but in order to prove that they can supply the services they would need to affect "illegal trespass" (ie. erecting a dish where neither they, nor the occupants, are permitted to do so).

Whether you would be prepared to be complicit in such a trespass by affording them access to your property to prove their assertion is entirely debatable. However, I can't think of why anyone trying to legally terminate a contract would want to be seen to help the other party prove their case.

As I said, I'd need to study their T&Cs to establish what their premise is.
