Just trying to get back to bed so turned the TV on and noticed that many of the VOOM Channels are listed at OFF AIR starting at 1am EST.

I wonder whats up? :)

Not sure. WorldCinema is listed as Off-Air at the moment, but it's showing a movie.
 
FYI: The channels themselves aren't scheduled to be off the air tonight. Dish puts "off air" on channels that are on transponders they plan to move around. That way people will not complain as much when the channel blips off the air as the transponder changes/encoder maintenance happens. The channels are rarely off the air for more than a few minutes, but they give themselves a wide 2-4 hour window to work out bugs if any show up.

See ya

I see several channels showing off air (even though they're not) from 10 to 11 Pacific time but the full schedule picks up again at 11 for everything.

Looks like a schedule hiccup to me, perhaps it will be fixed "soon".
 
Its like TNGTony said, so no real biggie.
