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

Published: 23 August 2026

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, Monday 24 August 2026, the channel doubles up on its two biggest strands rather than ringing the changes: The Repair Shop opens primetime at 6pm and comes round again at 9pm with a different set of restorations, and The Yorkshire Auction House brackets the evening at 7pm and 10pm with two separate sale days. Antiques Road Trip takes the 8pm hour in between, and Help! My House Is Haunted closes things out at 11pm. Full breakdown below.

What’s on Really today

Monday opens with two further Help! My House Is Haunted cases at midnight and 1am, then Teleshopping fills the 2am-to-4am gap before David Bromstad’s My Lottery Dream Home runs four half-hour episodes from 4am to 6am. Fantasy Homes By The Sea takes the 6am slot, breaking for Cruise TV with LoveitBookit at 7am, before Escape To The Country settles into Cornwall at 8am. From 9am Drew Pritchard’s Salvage Hunters runs three episodes back to back through to noon, taking in a Staffordshire stately home, an antiques emporium and a Suffolk fabric manufacturer along the way. Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House then holds midday and 1pm with two different famous-name sales, before a daytime Repair Shop repeat at 2pm and a further pair of Salvage Hunters episodes at 3pm and 4pm, this time built around a private rock ‘n’ roll collection and a Yorkshire family antiques business. Long Lost Family opens the early evening at 5pm, with Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell reuniting a man with the daughter he’s been searching for, ahead of primetime’s doubled-up Repair Shop and Yorkshire Auction House runs.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Monday’s primetime on Really is built around two strands, and each gets two separate outings rather than a single hour: The Repair Shop opens the evening and comes round again three hours later with a completely different set of repairs, and The Yorkshire Auction House does the same either side of Antiques Road Trip. That’s the shape of the night — not a scheduling accident, just how the channel fills a weeknight.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

A retired footballer arrives with a fading signed match programme from a game against Pelé, hoping the barn’s craftspeople can save it without losing the autograph. A musician’s battered first guitar goes under the same roof for restoration in the same hour.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

“From Memories To New Beginnings” (series 2, episode 19). Brenda hands over her jewellery collection for auctioneer Angus to find new owners for, though it’s her son’s boxed-up childhood toys that end up drawing the bigger money on sale day.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

The road trip format runs its usual course tonight: two dealers, a fixed budget each, and a route round Britain’s shops and fairs looking for a profit at auction. Really’s own listing carries conflicting series numbers for this outing, so treat any S#E# you see elsewhere with caution.

The Repair Shop — Really, 9pm

A second, unrelated visit to the barn. Paper conservator Angelina works on a faded Victorian portrait of a formidable-looking woman, while Kirsten reassembles an Italian pottery horse that’s arrived in pieces.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 10pm

“Toying With A New Life Down-Under” (series 4, episode 3). Angus turns up a sizeable toy collection in Manchester, and a family weighs up whether three generations of heirlooms are really ready to go under the hammer.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

“Pit Of Despair” (series 6, episode 6). The investigators head to County Durham, where a couple say a poltergeist has been making its presence felt around the house, and find a spirit the team believes is acting out for attention.

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 Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House both air twice tonight, at 6pm and 9pm and at 7pm and 10pm respectively, with a different episode each time. Antiques Road Trip sits between them at 8pm and Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night 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. Help! My House Is Haunted gives it an identity that’s hard to find anywhere else on free-to-air television, and the daytime half is comfortable and nothing more.

Tonight leans on repetition rather than variety: The Repair Shop and The Yorkshire Auction House each turn up twice, three hours apart, with genuinely different episodes rather than the same hour shown again. Antiques Road Trip splits the two and Help! My House Is Haunted takes the 11pm slot to close things out. If you’re picking a single hour, make it 11pm — the ghost-hunting is the one thing on the channel tonight built for a late slot rather than daytime filler.
