The large chain store from which we purchased a TV kindly sent someone round to give us a quote for installing an antenna so we don't miss out on all the gurume shows and psychedelic talent explosions. Which came to a tad under 39,000 yen, broken down as follows:
* 18000 yen for antenna (20 element U antenna) and installation thereof
* 5000 yen for the use of a ladder
* 16000 yen for a "booster" device - "ブースター取付U又はV(30db)"
Which strikes me as a little on the expensive side, on the other hand my experience with this kind of thing is zilch. Is this a vaguely realistic amount, or are they taking the piss?
