But did you make unique chanid's? You can't reuse the chanid with 
multiple urls (well, as I understand it). I don't think the group 
matters much.

This sounds a bit like you have still got duplicated chanid.

I have 13 IPTV tuners on my production backend over two separate m3u 
files and 15 IPTV tuners on a test backend over three m3u files (30+ 
channels) so multiple IPTV tuners and multiple m3u files can work. But 
all my chanid are unique.

And just to add that I don't think the problem is with zap2it, it was 
just an observation that in the past similar threads had been shut down.
