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

Really is Warner Bros. Discovery’s ghost-hunting and salvage-and-antiques channel. It arrived on Freeview in January 2026 and absorbed 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 11 August 2026, The Repair Shop, The Yorkshire Auction House and Antiques Road Trip run back-to-back from 6pm, two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? follow at 9pm and 10pm, and Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm.

Really Schedule: Tuesday 11 August 2026 (Full Listings)

Here is the complete Really schedule for Tuesday 11 August 2026, on Freeview 44.

What’s on Really today

Tuesday’s daytime run is almost entirely repeats, and it shows: three same-day episodes of Salvage Hunters in the morning, another two in the afternoon, and a Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House double bill wedged between them at midday. Escape To The Country and Who Do You Think You Are? are the only two programmes that break the auction-and-repair pattern before the evening schedule takes over at 6pm.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 11 August 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

The team tackle another batch of family treasures at 6pm (series 7, episode 26). A horologist works on a clock dating back to 1959 Austria, while an optical specialist takes on the fiddly job of restoring a miniature microscope.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

Auctioneer Angus clears a historic property in Long Itchington at 7pm (series 2, episode 10). Every room turns up something for the saleroom, from vintage furniture to jewellery.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

The familiar format returns at 8pm (series 28, episode 12): two experts, £200 apiece, and a trip round Britain’s auction houses to see who can turn the bigger profit.

Who Do You Think You Are? — Really, 9pm & 10pm

Two celebrities dig into their family trees back-to-back this evening. At 9pm (series 21, episode 3), Melanie Chisholm traces ancestors that include a moneylender and a social reformer, plus relatives who fled the Irish famine. Lesley Manville follows at 10pm (series 20, episode 9), tracing a Brighton love story and a riot that connects her family to Australia.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

The investigators close the night at 11pm (series 3, episode 6) at the Groundlings Theatre in Hampshire, where a volunteer believes malevolent spirits are trapped in the building.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What’s on Really tonight?

The evening runs entirely on repeats: The Repair Shop, The Yorkshire Auction House and Antiques Road Trip from 6pm, two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? at 9pm and 10pm, then Help! My House Is Haunted at 11pm. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What channel is Really on Freeview?

Freeview channel 44, since the January 2026 move.

What channel is Really on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat?

Sky 142, Virgin Media 165, and Freesat 149. Really +1 runs an hour behind on Sky 242 and Virgin Media 365, though there’s no Freeview +1 currently.

Is Really free to watch?

Yes, on every platform, with no subscription. Expect the usual ad breaks of a commercial free-to-air channel.

Can I watch Really online for free?

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 open the evening, followed by two episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? at 9pm and 10pm. Help! My House Is Haunted closes things out at 11pm, and if you’re picking one hour, make it that one.
