That is a very good modulator to use with your Pilot TV-37 and any other US sets you want to use. Now you need a video source for NTSC composite video and audio. One strategy would be to buy a US-compatible DVD player (or one of the worldwide-compatible ones with switchable video modes including NTSC) and use that as your video source.

Note that when using the agile modulator, you need to have a jumper cable in place from "IF out" to "IF in." The channel number is selected with a bunch of DIP switches accessible through a front panel cover. There should be a chart that pulls out through the window showing switch settings for each channel.

This article describes using a Blonder-Tongue modulator as a home transmitter:

It's pretty simple to hook up and use. Mine has been running 24 hours a day for years.

thanks for the answers, I cannot connect then a dvd player of Italian production, it won't work'? it serves a dvd player of production it USA? with source NTSC?

The details of the color standard (NTSC vs PAL vs SECAM) won't matter. However, the Pilot is designed for 525 lines @ 30 frames per second. Since the European TV broadcast standard used 625 lines @ 25 frames per second, it might be necessary to modify the set a little to sync properly. You could try it and see if there is enough range in the horizontal and vertical adjustments to allow the set to function without modification on European signals. Or just go find a DVD player with switchable standards. I have such a DVD player that I bought in Switzerland when I lived there a number of years ago.
