Without a working link to your TVFR, I can only comment on the UVSJ. You'll loose very little (a dB or less as I recall) with a good UVSJ. Unlike a splitter that divides available power over a wide range of frequencies, a UVSJ is a filter network that has dedicated input ports, one for UHF only and the other for VHF only.

I would not hesitate to use a good UVSJ ahead of a single input, broadband preamp.
