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

Published: 22 September 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 still runs so heavily to property and saleroom shows. Tonight, Wednesday 23 September 2026, it’s a normal weeknight shape: The Repair Shop opens primetime at 6pm, The Yorkshire Auction House follows at 7pm and Antiques Road Trip at 8pm, then Long Lost Family: What Happened Next takes 9pm and Who Do You Think You Are? takes 10pm, before Help! My House Is Haunted closes out the night at 11pm. Full breakdown below.

Series 29 airs episode 18, with two dealers touring Britain’s shops and fairs hunting for a profit at auction.

Long Lost Family: What Happened Next — Really, 9pm

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 They are out of date.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 opens primetime at 6pm, followed by The Yorkshire Auction House at 7pm and Antiques Road Trip at 8pm. Long Lost Family: What Happened Next takes the 9pm slot, Who Do You Think You Are? follows at 10pm, and Help! My House Is Haunted closes out 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 runs The Repair Shop into The Yorkshire Auction House and Antiques Road Trip between 6pm and 8pm, then Long Lost Family: What Happened Next and Who Do You Think You Are? take the 9pm and 10pm slots. If you want the one moment that sets the channel apart from every other daytime-repeats rival, stay up for 11pm and Help! My House Is Haunted.
