Default Antenna Booster

Is there a antenna booster out there that is actually worth a damn? My HD stations seam to cut in and out every once in a while and they sound quality is so much better with it id like to try and install a booster if possible to keep the station in HD.

You have a HD tuner? What brand and where did you get it?

My truck has the Sony 700Watt System which has HD built in.

my 2013 has the stock HD tuner as well and it does the same thing. I turned it off because it keeps going in and out. Thoughts, ideas would be great.

I only pick up one local HD channel and it cuts in and out when going down a certain road to work. I have mine turned off also.

Well now I don't feel so left out without HD, I've been thinking about getting an add on from bestbuy, maybe they would work better than stock.


EDIT: BestBuy no longer offers an HD add on type device that would plug into oem radio, hmmm the search goes on.

The clarity is a huge difference and the highs sound aftermarket when in HD. When it works it's amazing.
