As the Freeview STB is itself complaining, then the attenuator MUST go on the 'aerial in' as Dave W said. That OSD message has nothing to do with the Scart output.
But there's another relevant setting (on the FV-STB) you should check: the "Antenna Power" switch/menu — on most cases, it should be
off/disabled (most aerials have their own power supply). Otherwise, you'd be shorting the signal and that's when the tuner selfprotection kicks in. This is a fairly common oversight / mistake / default setting.
In this case, you may not need the attenuator after all.
