I could use an antenna and get local OTA HDTV, but then I'd need a converter box (these are tube type TVs). That would give me analog channel 3 over a 75 ohm coax, but how do I feed the analog audio input on the BT?

The Holland (HPM55) has 75 ohm coax inputs for both audio and video - gack - ?! No idea how to feed audio to that input. There aren't good manuals out there for this gear, I think the CATV pros just knew what they were doing and had the right eqpt to feed these.
Both modulators should accept the same A/V signals (Yellow/White/RED RCA jacks) that any DVD player, VCR, DTV converter box, etc. put out. The only MINOR issue is that the connector jacks are different (Jr_tech posted the default solution). No need to connect both audio outputs to the audio input of the of whichever modulator you choose (either one will do), but if you feel better using both then get an RCA Y cable (RCA spliter/combiner) and use that to mix your stereo audio down to mono.
