Note that the following config will require you putting your tuner's mac addresses in place of the two I'm using. This is more for reference. Please be very careful when editing anything in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet.

Tuners_FriendlyName.reg:

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
 ;; This file is for two external Motorola DCH-3200 Tuners operating via firewire. The MAC address of the firewire
 ;; interface on the tuner is in the ##?#AVC key name in reverse word order.
 ;;
 ;;    Ex:   MAC 0023A3FFFE542D31
 ;;          ##?#AVC#MOTOROLA&DCH-3200&TYP_5&ID_0#312D54FEFFA32300#
 ;;
 ;; Furthermore, There are 4 classes associated with each Tuner/Panel:
 ;;
 ;;    Ex:   {65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}
 ;;    Ex:   {65e8773e-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}
 ;;    Ex:   {6994ad05-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}
 ;;    Ex:   {cc7bfb41-f175-11d1-a392-00e0291f3959}
 ;;
 ;;
 ;; So you could in escence generate your own configuration if you know the classes assocated with the equiptment. I believe all video
 ;; capture devices are stored in these 4 classes reguardless of manufacturer. I could be wrong though. It's almost as if the tree's 
 ;; content in Device manager for Imaging Devices is determined based on the content of these classes.
 ;;
 ;; Renaming the FriendlyName allows us to isolate the control and capture of video via VLC on an endless amount of multiple tuners.
