My NM(dB) is horrible..Here is a link above of my TVFR and was wondering what preamplifier db gain would be best for me to use...I am using only a 50 ft RG-6 cable with no splitters directly hooked to one TV...Also thinking about using the Antenna Direct 20DB Variable Attenuator 1296F to prevent overload on channel 12...Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

You're not at risk of overloading any decent preamp. You don't need the attenuator. 50' of RG-6 will have about 3 dB loss, so you don't need a great deal of gain. A PA-18 with 15 to 18 dB gain would be plenty, you would have all the gain needed to drive the coax, nullify the tuner noise figure and leave you the option to add a splitter in the future.
