Flipping through my channel lineup suddenly doesn’t take as long as it used to.

Dish Network has dropped all of the VOOM channels from its lineup. According to EngadgetHD, 10 of them went dark yesterday, with the last five leaving the dial today.

The provider couldn’t yank the stations fast enough, stating that Voom is in breach of their carriage deal.

The networks now missing include Voom Movies, Aniamania, Film Fest and Game Play. My husband might be bummed about World Sport, but otherwise most subscribers won’t notice. In fact, Dish has already added new high-def offerings to make up the slack. Most are familiar stations, such as ESPNews HD, Sci Fi HD, Toon Disney HD, and Travel Channel HD.

While I appreciate the extras, taking channels away—especially when it comes to HD—is never a good thing.  Check Dish Network for a complete lineup.
