I used to get decent and consistent HD signal with my stock antenna. Installed my Beat-Sonic Shark-Fin and signal strength instantly took a hit. Where I used to enjoy constant HD content (it would only play in non-HD when first tuning into a station), it now cuts in and out in about 15-second intervals on all stations that broadcast in HD. Especially easy to notice when you're on the 2nd of a multicast station, since the music just stops instead of dropping to non-HD.
That being said, I still wouldn't go back to the stock RC-car antenna (that look was just atrocious). I'd LOVE to find a way to boost quality of the sharkfin, but I'll just stick to using tunedin radio, pandora, slacker, songza, and iheartradio streaming from my phone. Only time this is ever an issue is when I'm driving through areas with no 3G (ie West-Texas).
