I wish I could get my cable box to give a signal with no color subcarrier...
If your cable box has S-video output all you need to get rid of the subcarrier is an external RF modulator and a modified S-video to RCA cable. S-video is 2 coaxes. One has just monochrome video and sync the other coax carries just the color subcarrier. A S-video to RCA cable simply Ys the 2 coaxes into one...all you gotta do is cut the color Coax or remove it's pin from the S-video plug.
