Still no information about Really +1 being added to the EPG? It's already been broadcasting on 12382 H for almost a month now at this point according to this page: https://www.tvchannellists.com/w/Channels_testing_%26_channels_not_on_Sky%27s_EPG_(UK_%26_Ireland)

Pretty Sure it will be replacing HGTV+ 1 in January, HGTV closes in January with programming moved to Really along with TLC new look and going free to air in January apparently on 13th.

It's up to Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), the owner of the channel to let Sky know when it can be added to the EPG. They may be waiting on broadcast license for the UK only and/or the EU. Or it may replace HGTV +1, as Timelord said. They may continue to use the HGTV license for Really +1, but can't use it until HGTV closes.

Additionally, it may also be a placeholder for the likes of a HBO Max/Netflix promo channel, another channel or a current channel that will launch in Ireland for local adverts, or it may remain as a testing channel. I know WBD regularly have MPEG-2 testing channels that only last a few weeks or months.
