It may
overload your set unless you insert an attenuator (easily obtained and
cheap).

The extra gain is not likely to overload your receiver unless you're
already in a very strong signal area (and it can never physically damage
the TV).

And is easily fixed by sticking an attenuator on the cable where it goes
into the TV, rather than fitting a lower-gain aerial.
