Another thing to consider and you don't mention is antenna type. For example a vertical quarter wave will pick up a strong signal but it will pick up everything else too since for all practical purposes it isn't directional. That directionality can be critical for blocking stations which are close in wavelength but way off in geographic proximity compared to the station it is you are trying to pull in.Or: maybe the selectivity of the tuners recieve filters isn't the best and now that you are pulling stuff in from afar with a REAL antenna setup this problem has reared it's ugly head. Not being familiar with your tuner I won't comment on whether I think it is that. Usually though a tuner specialist can add higher Q lower bandwidth filters for a noticeable improvement in selectivity when this is what is causing the problems.
Also it could be a combination of things like I mentioned.
BTW usually it is pretty difficult to overdrive the recieve circuitry on most modern tuners due to the AGC circuitry being built in to protect from that. Of course it isn't impossible it just takes some pretty extreme conditions with most equipment.
