How would I change tuner names

Is there a way to create custom names for tuners. I thought I remember there being one but I couldn't find it.
I now have 7 tuners 3xUSB2's, the dual PVR-500 and the dual HDHR.
In the parallel view of the recording schedule I can only see the beginning of the tuners but it's the end that distinguishes them. It makes it hard to troubleshoot if I have a bad recording or tuner issue.

There's a plugin/import to try somewhere, or, after a short bit of searching on "rename tuner", I found the one I was looking for:
Is there Any Way to Rename the PVR Cards?

I'm not sure if that's the current best way, though.

Here's the one you are looking for.

It was originally from like version 4 or something (probably why it was hard to find), but I have it working just fine in 6.4.8. It's very simple. There is a setup that appears in the detailed setup area, which allows you to choose the tuner and give it whatever name you want.

Ah, just read the thread.

Thanx guys.

I was searching for "change tuner name" and "custom tuner name" and stuff like that. I feel stupid for not trying "re"name tuner.

I Appreciate the help...
