VOOM Gone from DISH Lineup
It appears the remaining VOOM HD channels on DISH Network have been dropped by the DBS service.

Earlier in the week, the company confirmed that it turned off 10 of 15 VOOM channels. In a conference call Tuesday, DISH CEO Charlie Ergen said the company would drop the other channels. The remaining five high-def networks appeared to have gone dark as of Wednesday or late Tuesday.

DISH had no comment on the situation involving the VOOM channels.

DISH and Rainbow Media, which owns the VOOM channels, are engaged in litigation concerning carriage of the networks, Last week, a New York Supreme Court judge declined to issue a preliminary injunction that would've forced DISH to keep the networks on the DBS service.
