How can I open two board API streams at the same time?

Hello! First of all, thanks to the Lichess developers for your hard work.

Background: I have a DGT board, and I've been enjoying using it with lichess.org/dgt/play, which seems to use the board API. However, I have to keep checking the computer to see the time remaining. So I created an iPhone app, which also uses the board API, to stream the time remaining for each side (and some other data, like most recent move).

My problem: These two streams seem to interfere with each other; in other words, it seems like I can only have one stream open at a time.

When my iPhone app opens the stream, the DGT one loses connection. And when the DGT stream regains connection, my iPhone app loses it.

What's the best way to open two simultaneous board streams for the same game? I can't see anything about this in the docs.
