    I have been using a Raspberry Pi 3 for some time with good results, but all of a sudden, the ON Line time has dropped dramatically and the raspberry Pi goes permanently OFF Line. Rebooting the Raspberry Pi will get it going again, but not reliably. Is it possibly a SD card problem??

    Either didn't reboot the pi, or you have crashed dump1090 (or have something other than just fr24feed) running.

    If you search here for the exact term youll find the likely caused and how to confirm of reboot does not

    And on service fr24feed i am seeing this:
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]8854[/ATTACH]

    On the site it is still offline and no plane was updated so far.

    I am using raspberry pi3 b and a "not only tv" dvb-t usb dongle and stock antenna outside my apartment.

    Any help would be nice becouse i dont know what i am doing wrong
    Unfortunately it is just another standard tv tuner.

    Notice the fc0013 tuner found?

    It needs to be a Rafael 80x tuner. It won't receive adsb Signal

    It is outside and i live near an airport and planes are really close so i dont know what is the problem.
    But is the sofware and Raspberry working properly?

    Including SUDO infront of each command? else its normal user and wont have high access
    sudo fr24feed start
    Yup, tried it with sudo.

    blacklist RTL2838UHIDIR

    Thanks Oblivian, your post tipped me in the right direction. I was able to figure it out; everything is up and running!

    During the install I had installed an instance of dump1090-FA (I thought I had uninstalled it once I realized that it was Flight Aware specific...alas I had not). It was running in the background and stealing the dongle.

    I've had it up and running in its enclosure for a day now (to keep an eye on temps in the sealed enclosure). Hopefully this week I'll get the antenna built, get the feed up and running to Flight Radar, then get everything mounted up on the roof.
