I am looking for a new Humax HD recorder and I don't know which to choose
I have both Satellite dish and terrestial aerial
I have full Freeview coverage.
So which is better, Youview for Freeview or Freetime for Freesat?

The channel line-ups differ slightly on each platform so worth checking to see which you'd prefer. Also worth checking to see whether or not you'd be able to get the new BBC-HD channels on Youview as you're area may not be served, but they will all be available on Freesat regardless.
You could always get a Freesat freetime box for main viewing, recording and catch-up and use your tv's inbuilt freeview tuner to watch the odd channel not available on satellite. Best of both worlds.
I am in Northern Ireland so is Freetime have ITV or UTV Pleyer?
As I read that ITV Player is England and Wales, Surey there is STV Player for Scotland and UTV player for NI. Is it not?

And the UTV Player FAQs don't mention Freetime either

Contrast that with ITV Player which does mention Freesat, but not Freetime explicitly.

Thanks for the link, I contacted Freetime directly and they informed me that there is no UTV player for NI region
I also sent email to UTV to ask why is UTV Player not available on Freetime. I will let you know their reply in due course.
