If you have a strong HD adjacent, it will impact your tuner choices as you'll need a tuner with a lot of IF stages and sharp cutoff ceramic filters...

About (2), can you then use a wide IF pass-band if the post-detection filtering is good enough, and get rid of the self-noise without increasing distortion?
I don't think there's any problem with adjacent HD. The nearest that I know of is 2.4 MHz away. Will check...
Thanks for the good information. -- Clark2
