RTL1090 feeding to fr24 has a huge problem, it either submits a bad hex or reads it incorrectly and sends it to fr24. it also keeps the site from displaying the correct callsign/type/origin-destination everything as if everything was stripped. i was able to replicate this using rtl1090 and fr24feed from windows when i first started feeding with it and i stopped because i wasn't able to see anything useful, and have since moved to feeding with dump1090/rpi without any issues. at certain times of the day, it seems to update to fr24 so frequently it would override every other reliable feed in the area and show a screen full of "Unknown" aircraft. (yes i know how fr24 chooses to display which feed is coming from). rtl1090 also chooses to display low flying general aviation aircraft as well, whereas dump1090/FR24 equipment ignores the low altitude general aviation aircraft.
here are some screens to show what i mean. the KSFO bay area is of most interest to me so this is what the screen is looking at.

hate to be complaining here, but a screen full of "Unknown" is not very fun to look at.
