I think Chas Miller was a fan of the Sterling converter, he mentioned it at length in on of his early Vintage TV features in "Television". Can anyone remember which issue though?

If it is still operable I'd be inclined to use it, set the modulator deliberately to a band 3 channel and downconvert to 41.5 MHz. You could always get two Auroras and two Freeview HD receivers to re-create BBC(1) and ITV on their original VHF frequencies (downside: £££!)
