QAM Modulators are certainly available, but they are not considered consumer 
devices, and do not sell at consumer prices.

Google QAM Modulator, you will find things like:

If you are willing to risk FleaBay I see prices as low as $500, you're looking 
at twice that and up for new and warranteed units.

I would think there are cheaper ways for you to go. The main advantage of QAM 
is it makes more efficient use of spectrum space than NTSC, and I doubt you 
are going to distribute enough channels to make it worthwhile for you.

But of course only you can answer that question.
