hdhomerun products compared?

Any idea what the difference is, besides the box, between a Connect Duo and a Connect Dual? Any operational differences running in Sage? It would appear the Duo is in a new box, and the Dual has been re-classified as ‘legacy’.
But if anyone has experience with either, is there a performance difference? Black Friday approaches...

I think the dual is the very original one that came in an unbranded box. I've had one up in my basement rafters since about 2007, hasn't skipped a beat. Used to use it for QAM until time warner killed that. Now OTA connected to both a set top antenna and now a bigger one in the attic. It's the most trouble free tuner I've ever used.

This is mine:

thanks - helped a bit . Best Buy has them on sale this week, so I thought it may be worth the experiment...
