Have you moved from Europe to North America (or Japan) at some point in
time?

I'm asking as a VHF modulator were afaik only used in the NTSC part of
the world, while V2000 were afaik only ever sold in the PAL part of the
world. (In the PAL and for that sake SECAM parts of the world, RF
modulators would almost always use UHF. To get VHF from a RF modulator
you'd have to use one of those UHF converters that were sold in many
PAL countries in the 60's when UHF were a new thing. In the late 80's I
actually used one of those UHF converters to feed the RF signals from
two satellite receivers onto the local "TV network" used within a
building, mostly for the local radio-TV shop. By adjusting the tuning
control on the converter to let one satellite receivers signal end up
at VHF channel 4 I were then able to adjust the RF output frequency of
another satellite receiver for that to, via the converter, end up at
VHF channel 2. (In the PAL world VHF channels 2-4 are on the low VHF
band below FM radio transmissions, while channels 5-12 are on the high
VHF band above FM radio transmissions. For some strange reasons there
are no channel 1 and no channel 13-20 in the PAL part of the world).
