The bandwidth of a first variable IF filter (5) for a neighbour channel suppression of a currently received channel, which first variable IF filter (5) is arranged in a first reception path of a broadcast receiver additionally comprising at least one second reception path is controlled by obtaining at least one first quality signal corresponding to a received broadcast signal on basis of a first filtering of the received and eventually pre-processed broadcast signal with said first variable IF filter (5) set to a predetermined bandwidth, obtaining at least one second quality signal corresponding to said received broadcast signal on basis of at least one second filtering of the received and eventually pre-processed broadcast signal with a second variable IF filter (13) arranged in said at least one second reception path with a bandwidth different to the first variable IF filter (5) bandwidth and/or with a different filter characteristic, and controlling the bandwidth of the first variable IF filter (5) on basis of a the at least one first quality signal and the at least one second quality signal.
