These Chillies have your name on it

As a rule, the hottest chillies are the ugliest, and the Carolina Reaper is one ugly so-and-so. Five hundred times hotter than Tabasco, if your mouth can do the maths.

Never make promises you can't keep as some on this forum has come unstuck doing that.

I know that i will never have to fulfill the promise though as BRAVO is not returning, it'll be something like SKYMIX that will replace sky2.

To be honest I can`t understand why they need to re-brand it anyway? I watch any channel if it is showing a program of interest to me regardless of it`s name.

The basic box costs £42 per month and can record three shows simultaneously in 1080p -- you can watch a fourth one live -- on a 1TB hard drive.
The Sky Q Silver box, meanwhile, is 4K ready and can capture up to four shows at once onto a 2TB drive, with the option to watch a fifth channel live. It costs £54 per month and supports up to four Sky Q Mini boxes, which cost £99 each, for multi-room viewing.

Will this push VM into releasing anything on their own new box?

Our Virgin UK Sources will not give us the go-ahead to post what we know about the new TiVo box.

Well the sooner all is revealed the better.
