I have not yet started a live feed, because another user is feeding my area. I like to listen to my area when I'm away but I have noticed the feed is not active from time to time. Is it permissible for me to provide a duplicated, more reliable feed or do I just need to wait for the feed to repaired?
We do not nominally allow exact duplicate feeds.
If someone can provide a better feed for the same agencies, we may allow the feed & ask the current feed owner to change.
In these cases, we give the existing feed owner a change to fix the feed to keep it.
If that fails, a feed may go to a new feed owner.
It gets a bit tricky to tell an existing feed owner he is bumped.
I have had two in the last month.
I worked with one existing feed owner to be able to keep his feed as someone else wanted it.
I have one now that may lose his feed as someone may be providing a better feed.
The best is to provide your feed with something different if poss. so we can easily approve it.
