Not in the States. VCR modulators here output on VHF channels 3 or 4.
(60-66 or 66-72MHz)

If the OP can find a foreign UHF modulator, it should work with US
signals, with two possible issues:

- The sound-video separation is different. This means the sound will be
on the wrong frequency for an American TV. If the OP doesn't care about
sound then this isn't a problem!

- TV channel frequencies are different in different countries. Most
Australian channels don't coincide with American channels. (if a
modulator tunes Australian channels 30-37, the only channel in that
range that corresponds to an American channel is 32, which is American
channel 28)

Are European/Australian VCR modulators continuously tunable? Or can
they only be set to discrete channels?

http://www.73.com/a/0019.shtml offers a "block converter". (among
dozens of other items! It's about 3/4 down the page on the left-hand
side, stock #AE047) It's a broadband frequency converter that will
convert a US channel 3 RF signal up to US channel 37.
