You could try something like a switched filter bank as a preselector:

That was something a quick google search found. Unfortunately, your
band-pass requirements are lacking. What types of channel bandwidths
do you want? How many channels? How much rejection are you looking
for?
I am guessing said filters are pretty expensive.

Good luck.
