If either of you have an interest in truly transmitting your own live TV signals, as opposed to "seeing what you can get away with", I can give you lots of information on how to do so legitimately; I do it on a regular basis. It is a lot of fun to do things like show pictures of the sets I am restoring, or put myself on camera on an in-house Channel 1 signal into an RCA 8TS30 TV set, then transmit a camera showing THAT, live.

I can tell you that such signals are viewable all over much of the San Francisco Bay Area when I get on the air, with easy-to-obtain equipment and the NTSC TV sets you already have. This is TV over ham radio (known as "amateur television" or ATV), and you do need a license but the tests are not too hard to pass.

Let me know!
