HGTV (formerly Home) was a British free-to-air interior home and garden-orientated lifestyle television channel broadcasting in the United Kingdom and Ireland, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The channel originally launched on 1 November 1997 as UK Style, and then was rebranded Home on 30 April 2009, and was rebranded to its final form on 21 January 2020. HGTV was broadcast 24 hours a day on Sky.
UK Style was transmitted by terrestrial provider ITV Digital 24 hours a day until the company's collapse in 2002. After a slight rebrand to UKTV Style, the channel returned to terrestrial television for a time in the mid-2000s as part of the now-defunct Top Up TV system. Before 2016, Home was a pay channel. Home became available as a free-to-air linear service on Freeview from 1 March 2016.
The channel closed on 13 January 2026, with its programming moved to Really and its channel slot on Freeview replaced by a new generalist version of TLC.
