Pa 2011, ki rete difizyon LPTV sou UHF chanèl 52 nan 69 yo te fòse sou pi ba chanèl. Anpil transmeteur orijinal bann tradiktè UHF 70-83 te oblije deplase de fwa; chanèl 70-83 te pèdi nan telefòn mobil yo nan 1983, ki te swiv pa chanèl 52-69 ant 2009 ak 2011. Anpil konvèsasyon ba-pouvwa yo te tou dirèkteman afekte pa konvèsyon yon estasyon paran an nan televizyon dijital. Tradiktè ki te resevwa yon siyal analòg sou-lè a ki sòti nan yon estasyon televizyon plen sèvis pou retransmèt bezwen konvèti ekipman k ap resevwa yo, tankou telespektatè endividyèl itilize bwat konvètisè dijital. Malgre ke siyal la transmèt pa repeater a ka rete analòg, uplink a te dwe chanje. Venn twa pousan nan tradiktè yo ki gen lisans 4,000 te resevwa yon $ 1,000 sibvansyon federal-gouvènman an pou yon pòsyon nan ekipman an adisyonèl. Anpil tradiktè lòt te fè nwa apre dat limit la dijital-tranzisyon, oswa pa t 'aplike pou nouvo chanèl apre UHF chanèl 52-69 yo te retire nan bandplan la.

By 2011, remaining LPTV broadcasters on UHF channels 52 through 69 were forced onto lower channels. Many transmitters on the original UHF 70–83 translator band had to move twice; channels 70–83 were lost to mobile phones in 1983, followed by channels 52–69 between 2009 and 2011. Many low-power translators were also directly affected by a parent station's conversion to digital television. Translators which received an analog over-the-air signal from a full-service television station for rebroadcast needed to convert their receiving equipment, like individual viewers used digital converter boxes. Although the signal transmitted by the repeater may have remained analog, the uplink had to be changed. Twenty-three percent of the 4,000 licensed translators received a $1,000 federal-government subsidy for a portion of the additional equipment. Many other translators went dark after the digital-transition deadline, or did not apply for new channels after UHF channels 52–69 were removed from the bandplan.
