I remember my uncle telling me they used to do that a lot at the radio shop, even thought they didn't really service TVs. New Orleans's first and only (until the 80's) UHF station switched channels several times between the mid 50's and mid 60's, three or four times, starting at 61 and working its way down to 26.
