With a separate UHF and VHF antenna, would you use a UHF / VHF Antenna Combiner?

If so to run a Preamplifier with a UHF / VHF Antenna Combiner would it be before or after the Combiner?

Do the UHF and VHF antennas require separate Preamplifiers?

Thanks in advance,
Charles

Should have included this along with my post.

It depends on what you need to achieve. Please provide details.

I believe from what I've read on this site that I need to have 2 separate antennas, one for UHF (@ 191deg. magnetic) and one VHF (@167deg. magnetic), from my TVFool report.
Everything else is very low power and 2Edge.

I'm asking what is the cleanest way to setup the antennas, assuming I need to use a preamplifier for one or both antennas. Will a UHF/VHF combiner simplify the number of coax cables I need to use?
