Apparently, noone uses this old technique anymore. There are however ones that do work. For $80 roughly, you can get a Universal one, that works on all but the toughest systems. It does it by stripping the video of all Sync, and inserting it's own by Syncing to the Color Burst signal. I have one, and was able to make it work on a Zenith PM system. However it only handles the video portion, and not audio, which Zenith PM was so nice to have altered as well. So I am still working on finding SAW filters that will decode the audio part. You will need to gut out a cable box or better than that rip apart a semi-working VCR to steal the tuner and RF modulator (and power supply and control electonics) in order to get raw video to feed into it. (Composite unfiltered). I don't care to publish any more details and please don't email me with your "mee tooo" mailings...
