The signal cannot have an offset of 166kHz only because of a reflection of a wall. What will happen is that the receiver is going to receive the signal several times delays (echo). The channel-estimation is detecting that and discards the received echo (or is selecting the strongest). The broadcasters in France and UK (and maybe elsewhere also) are not using the center frequency to broadcast a channel but they are using it together with a small offset (usually +/-167kHz). Normally the demodulators are able to handle those offsets (at least of DiBx000 this is true and I guess for Philips and Zarlink as well). The problem is the tuner maybe. Some silicon tuners are able to cut the signal depending on a given bandwidth (so is the mt2060). Maybe there is something wrong in the mt2060 calculation for offset frequencies. Can you check that?
