Overload can get very tricky. When calculating the cumulative level of multiple signals you add the peak voltages together (not the RMS) to get the peak voltage, and then calculate the peak power from the combined peak voltages.

For instance, the peak power of two signals of the same amplitude but different frequencies is 6 dB higher than one of the signals. It is this higher peak power that can overload the tuner.
