So unless they've changed RF Modulators since then so that they output stereo audio now, then there shouldn't be stereo audio coming out of the coaxial output of your mini-cable box...
No stereo on RF modulators was the very common case, but not a hard rule.
VCR modulators were simple discrete transistor devices, but ICs have made stereo cheap enough by now.
