A tuning method and tuner apparatus having a plurality of frequency conversion stages for concurrently receiving more than one channel. To avoid disturbance by oscillator pulling, a multi-phased local oscillator signal required by sub-mixers of a DAC mixer share the same timing reference. To minimize the complexity, die area and power dissipation of the local oscillation generation, a tuning offset is accepted from each of the down-conversion stages, and loss of receiver performance by the tuning offset is avoided by a control function for controlling the receiver circuit to process an increased dynamic range introduced by the tuning offset.
