A 2-way splitter might work. It's cheap and won't break anything else in the system, so there's no reason not to try.

The problem is, the splitter is not going to filter weaker interfering copies of a signal coming from the antenna that is not the desired source of a given signal. (Both antennas will likely receive some signal, and when mixed together the good signal may be effected quite negatively.)

If you have a UHF only antenna and are combining it with a VHF only antenna, then use a UHF/VHF signal combiner. Radio Shack, Antennas Direct and Solid Signal offer versions of the same idea, a part that looks like a 2-way splitter, but has tuned filters that isolate the two antennas.
