If all your other channels are also sufficiently powerful, you might
just add in a 3db attenuator (or 6db) and perhaps bring all the
channels into an acceptable range.  You might also be able to
aim your antenna differently (turn away from the overly powerful
channel).  Of you could look at obtaining a band/notch attenuator
for just that one channel ( http://www.microwavefilter.com/index.html
sells some devices that could work, although they tend to be rather
expensive as I recall).
