The device you are looking for is called a "tuner".  The signals you see
on the cable are a conglomeration of dozens of different stations, with
the video, luminance, audio, color burst, and horizontal and vertical
sync signals all present at once.  Find yourself a tuner that decodes
MTS stereo, run it through an amp, and bliss out.
