I suspect this may involve command-line voodoo, which is not my strong point, but I thought I'd at least ask and see if someone knew alternatives.

In the Configuration > DVB Inputs > TV Adapters tab, there should be a listing of your HDHR devices. Select the device itself (not an individual tuner under the device) and change its "Network type". Set it to DVB-T, and then for each tuner under the device assign it to a DVB-T network that you've created. After you've done that you can begin scanning for muxes.
(As a note, I'm not sure how up-to-date the Synology packages are. From reading posts of other users, it appears he maintainer is far behind, as the Syno packages are 4.1, which is the old development branch, as 4.2.3 is current stable.)
