I am in the UK and have 4 tuner version Connect Quatro running latest 
firmware and mythtv fixes/31 (and master)

Model: HDHR5-4DT
Device ID: 1251E907
Firmware: 20200225


This has a built-in web interface at whatever ip address is assigned by 
your router.

Assuming the Connect Duo also has a built-in web server you can run a 
channel scan outside of mythtv to see what channels are found.

Using your web browser go  the the ip address and click on Channel Scan, 
there should then be an option to Detect Channels

The web interface allows firmware update (which may be necessary)

You can also use a utility hdhomerun_config (sudo apt install 
hdhomerun-config on Ubuntu/Debian systems) to run a manual scan in a 
terminal session

hdhomerun_config <ip address>  scan 0


hdhomerun_config <ip Address> get /sys/features will list capabilities e.g.

mike at mike-GL62-7QF:~$ hdhomerun_config 192.168.0.214 get /sys/features
channelmap: eu-bcast au-bcast tw-bcast
modulation: t8dvbt2 t7dvbt2 t6dvbt2 t8dvbt t7dvbt t6dvbt
auto-modulation: auto auto8t auto7t auto6t
