There is no reason to attenuate the output of the UHF antenna and a broadband attenuator in the VHF section of your system would make reception of the weaker VHF signals that much more difficult. I'm not worried about tuner overload... just the preamp.

Try to keep things as simple as possible. Use the UVSJ as a band pass filter only if you prove the need.
