Seriously, the OP should just a VCR as a
receiver/demodulator and feed the
(C)VBS signal into an appropriate monitor (some modern flat panel displays
have an RCA and/or S-Video input; or just use a video monitor, or
better: just buy (or get for free) an old TV).
My recommendation is/was the "Digital Prism" (~$50 7" HDTV that can do
analog, (and has very good CC display)) THAT, and my new Philips 19" are
the first TVs that I have ever owned with working internal tuners - I
ALWAYS used VCRs and/or cable boxes, and in the case of a cable box with
RF out, followed by a CC converter that included RF in and "composite"
out.
The whole discussion is on the niveau of saying
"I don't need electricity,
but I want to use my electric toaster. What can I do?".
But, to THIS group, that is just a "challenge"
Howzbout: heat ceramic tiles in a fire, then put them into the crumb tray?
BTW: NTSC is a colour encoding system and has nothing
to do with TV
channel frequencies.
I conflated NTSC with the entire signal, but did NOT use that to refer to
the channel/frequency. i.e. "almost-NTSC on USA channel 3"
I was under the [mis]impression that color encoding was but one part of
the standard. Sorry.
