Same size, same reception. The bottom line is it is exactly the same as my stock "non-premium" antenna. I had 3 bars signal strength with my old antenna and 3 bars with my Monster antenna. I had been searching for something to help with my poor Sirius reception at home. It wasn't. The only difference is the word "Monster" on the front. I was very excited when I found the Monster Cable MSR-ANT-HM Sirius Home Antenna, it seemed like the perfect answer. If you are looking for help with poor reception I suggest you look elsewhere, this antenna is NOT the answer.
I mounted up the antenna on the outside of my house and reception is excellent. Have not lost a signal yet.
I have a Kenwood Sirius setup in my car, but the antenna connection became loose so I tried this one out as a replacement and surprisingly it fits much better than the Kenwood one - even though all my gear is Kenwood branded. The snug fit and larger antenna size contribute to a more reliable signal with noticeably less dropouts than before.
If you're in a situation where you can't place your sirius antenna outside, then the Monster home antenna is a good solution to a bad situation. Since I started using this antenna, the number of drop outs I get is 75% less.
