I have a Recoton decoder as well and I am quite pleased with it.
However, I don't think it's cheap.  There are several cheaper decoders
floating around.  However, I have heard that the sound quality on these
is inferior to the Recoton decoder.
    I know a person who bought such a cheap decoder and to his dismay,
found that it took 15 minutes for the unit to decide that a TV signal
was in MTS!  Needless to say, he returned the decoder.
    Also, the Recoton decoder has Dynamic Noise Reduction, not Dolby NR.
