I forget where it is, but make sure your ViP receiver is configured to receive OTA from antenna (as opposed to cable). I don't remember what it defaults to, but that could be a problem.

Some people experience different results with different types of receivers (Dish, TV, standalone, etc.)... but I would think you would not have the extreme difference of 15 vs 0.

If the configuration is correct, and you scan for channels and get nothing in the ViP... you *could* have a defective receiver. I have read of a few people who had bad OTA tuners in their receivers that had to be returned for a new unit.

Just figured out what I was doing wrong...and I am a huge bonehead! You need to go under the HDTV setup and turn the analog selection to Off-air. Mine was set to cable for some reason. Worked like a charm after that. Hope the info helps somebody else as well.
That's the setting I was talking about... I just couldn't tell you exactly how to get there without being in front of my receiver (which I wasn't at the time I posted). I can't remember what mine defaulted to when first installed, but I remember going there and verifying the setting anyway.
