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

Published: 24 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, Tuesday 25 August 2026, The Repair Shop opens primetime at 6pm with a Windrush-themed hour, The Yorkshire Auction House follows at 7pm and Antiques Road Trip takes the 8pm hour in Lincolnshire. From 9pm the channel doubles up on Who Do You Think You Are?, running two entirely different celebrities back to back, before Help! My House Is Haunted closes the night at 11pm. Full breakdown below.

Really tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the Really primetime line-up for tonight, Tuesday 25 August 2026.

The Repair Shop — Really, 6pm

A Windrush special opens the evening. The barn’s craftspeople work on items carried over from the Caribbean generations ago, among them a passport and a travel case, alongside a clock and a radiogram in need of attention. It’s a more personal hour than the usual mixed bag of repairs, built around one theme rather than several strangers’ unrelated heirlooms.

The Yorkshire Auction House — Really, 7pm

Angus Ashworth is called in as a couple empty the house ahead of a downsizing move, and among the boxes is a painting that might be worth rather more than anyone in the house has assumed. Whether it turns out to be the work of a known artist is the hook for the hour.

Antiques Road Trip — Really, 8pm

Charles Hanson and Roo Irvine take their rival vans around Lincolnshire this time, hunting down Victorian clothing and glassware among the usual roadside finds before facing off at auction.

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

Gemma Collins traces her family tree tonight, and the search turns up her mother’s history of fostering children alongside roots that run two centuries deep in Essex.

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

A second, unrelated instalment follows straight after, with Nigel Havers tracing his own ancestry into Victorian Colchester and uncovering a case of illegitimacy in Cornwall further back up the tree. It’s a different series and a different subject to the 9pm edition, not a continuation of it.

Help! My House Is Haunted — Really, 11pm

The night closes in Anglesey, where a family living in a property locally known as “the haunted house” describe disturbances the investigators are called in to look into.

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 (6pm), The Yorkshire Auction House (7pm) and Antiques Road Trip (8pm) open the evening, then Who Do You Think You Are? runs twice back to back at 9pm and 10pm with two unconnected celebrities rather than a two-part story. 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’s shape is the saleroom-and-restoration trio first, then a straight two-hour run of Who Do You Think You Are? with no connection between the two celebrities beyond the format. 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.
