Really TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On Really Tonight

Really is Warner Bros. Discovery’s channel for ghost hunts, haunted houses and long afternoons of salvage and auction repeats. It arrived on Freeview in January 2026 and swallowed the old HGTV UK’s home-and-garden library on the way in, which is why the daytime grid now runs so heavily to saleroom telly. Tonight, Tuesday 4 August 2026, the evening opens with the channel’s regular property and antiques rotation: The Repair Shop at 6pm, The Yorkshire Auction House at 7pm and Antiques Road Trip at 8pm, before the genealogy strand Who Do You Think You Are? takes over for a double bill at 9pm and 10pm, and Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm.

Really Schedule: Tuesday 4 August 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete Really schedule for Tuesday 4 August 2026, on Freeview 44.

What’s on Really today

Tuesday’s daytime schedule is built around Salvage Hunters, which holds three consecutive hours from 9am across three different series before returning again at 3pm and 4pm, on top of an earlier pair of episodes at 4am and 5am. The Yorkshire Auction House covers noon and 1pm, The Repair Shop takes the 2pm slot, and Long Lost Family: Born Without A Trace settles into 5pm. Earlier still, Celebrity Fantasy Homes takes 6am and Escape To The Country holds 8am. Cruise TV with LoveitBookit and Teleshopping fill the small hours either side of 2am.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 4 August 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

Series 7, episode 21 brings a rusty old bicycle, a Chinese porcelain figure of a Buddhist deity and a wedding photograph album into the barn. As ever, it’s the owners’ stories, not the objects, that carry the half hour.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

Angus heads to Bradford for a job lot of coins, toys and jewellery, then the team clears traditional Yorkshire-made furniture out of a cottage (series 2, episode 5). Steadier and less sentimental than the 6pm hour, with the auction room doing the emotional work instead.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

Two pairs of dealers set off with £200 each, hunting fairs and shops for something they can flip at auction for a profit (series 28, episode 7). The format hasn’t changed in years, and it doesn’t need to.

Who Do You Think You Are? — Really, 9pm

Olly Murs traces his grandfather’s wartime journey out of Latvia to Essex, then uncovers a decision made during the war that split the family apart (series 21, episode 6). One of the stronger genealogy digs in this run, with a real emotional gut-punch at the end.

Who Do You Think You Are? — Really, 10pm

Chris Ramsey follows his family tree back to a WWI battle his ancestors survived, and a lottery win not long after (series 20, episode 8). Ramsey’s reactions do a lot of the entertaining here.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

The team spend the night at Fyvie Castle in Aberdeenshire, a property with a reputation for a curse and the ghost of a woman said never to have found rest (series 1, episode 8). A solid pick if you’re only staying up for one hour of this.

What kind of shows are on Really

Paranormal and ghost-hunting

This is what Really is for. Death Walker With Nick Groff and Help! My House Is Haunted anchor most weeknight evenings, and both work from named, specific properties rather than the moody reconstructions cheaper ghost shows fall back on.

Home, antiques and lifestyle repeats

The daytime grid is where HGTV UK’s old audience ended up. The Repair Shop, Salvage Hunters, The Yorkshire Auction House and Fantasy Homes By The Sea run in long repeated stretches, several series deep, none of it first-run. Overnight the schedule gives up on programming altogether and sells you cruises and teleshopping until 4am.

How to watch Really

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find Really across the main UK television platforms:

No subscription on any of them. The +1 exists on Sky and Virgin Media only, not on Freeview. Freesat and Virgin numbers drift a little by region and by box, so trust your on-screen guide over this table if the two disagree.

Streaming online

Really streams live and free through discovery+, Warner Bros. Discovery’s ad-supported app, on smart TVs, iOS, Android and most streaming sticks. A free account gets you the live channel and a rolling catch-up window on recent episodes, paid for in ad breaks rather than cash.

Really sister channels

Older write-ups still file Really under UKTV. They are out of date. It now sits in Warner Bros. Discovery’s UK stable next to Quest, Quest Red, Discovery Channel, Food Network and DMAX. Quest is the closest relation of the lot, sharing programmes with Really outright, Salvage Hunters among them, which is part of why that title turns up so often on both grids. Dave, Drama, Yesterday and W stayed behind with UKTV and BBC Studios, so they are a different family now whatever the old listings pages say.

Yes, live and on catch-up via discovery+, Warner Bros. Discovery’s free, ad-supported streaming app.

Who owns Really?

Warner Bros. Discovery. UKTV launched the channel in 2009 but sold it to Discovery in 2019, and Discovery became part of Warner Bros. Discovery after its 2022 merger with WarnerMedia.

Verdict

Really knows exactly what it is, which is more than most channels this far down the guide can say. Death Walker With Nick Groff and Help! My House Is Haunted give it an identity, and Groff at least behaves like a man investigating something rather than a man reacting to a noise. The daytime half is comfortable and nothing more.

Tonight runs to a familiar pattern: an hour each of The Repair Shop, The Yorkshire Auction House and Antiques Road Trip to open the evening, none of it demanding close attention, which is rather the point. Who Do You Think You Are? then runs back-to-back at 9pm and 10pm with Olly Murs and Chris Ramsey digging into their family trees. Help! My House Is Haunted closes things out at 11pm, and if you’re picking one hour, make it that one.
