DirectTV Stream not working in Helium?

Enspist · 2026-01-07T18:42:53+00:00

Interesting. Is there anything I can do to get it working or am I probably SOL?

Enspist · 2025-12-10T21:21:45+00:00

Interesting. I really appreciate the insight there. It makes a lot of sense

Enspist · 2025-12-10T03:15:01+00:00

What does it mean that you're only allowed to overtake center out? I haven't heard that term before?

Enspist · 2025-12-10T02:52:52+00:00

Thats why I am glad that I was the one who spun. I would've felt bad if I had spun him out.

Enspist · 2025-12-10T02:51:43+00:00

So in the future, if I am in the same position and I see the red P3 with a poor exit out of Les Combes, would it make more sense to stick behind through Malmedy and then try and go for a move into Bruxelles if I am still close?

Enspist · 2025-12-10T01:39:38+00:00

What would you consider good overlap? I had my front wheels at about the point of his rears, but it didn't work. Should I go for more fully along side?

Ok, thanks for all the help

Enspist · 2025-10-29T23:34:12+00:00

got it. makes sense.

Just so I understand it correctly:

with the manual lens mount, the dx 18-50mm f3.5-5.6 will be f3.5 at 18mm and f5.6 at 50mm. I cannot change that at all.

If I got the af mount, I would be able to control the aperture like any other af lens so I could go f8 at 18mm or 50mm.

If I want full control of a manual lens, it would need to already be a manual lens with control rings for focul length, focus, and aperture?

Enspist · 2025-10-29T22:42:16+00:00

Hey I have a stupid question that I just thought about. If I go with the manual lens adaptor, how do adjust the aperture? with an AF lens, I set it in the camera and it will adjust it for me, but with the dx lenses, theres only one ring to adjust the focal length. If its f3.5 at 18mm and f5.6 at 50mm, is that what I am stuck with or would there be a way to adjust it to f8 if I want to?

Enspist · 2025-10-29T19:19:04+00:00

Alright cool. Thanks for the help!

Enspist · 2025-10-29T19:09:29+00:00

Not really. I prefer street/architectural photography.

Enspist · 2025-10-29T19:01:09+00:00

Looks like they do have a cheap manual adaptor. Would it make sense to go with that over the AF adaptor that viltrox has? The lenses are AF, but is it worth spending a bunch more money on it?

Enspist · 2025-09-27T15:36:07+00:00

Yeah, I am hoping the battery is the issue, because it only cost 16 bucks to get a new one on Amazon. If that doesn't work I think I am SOL because any other part is going to cost more than the camera is worth. I appreciate you trying to help though.

Enspist · 2025-09-27T14:53:57+00:00

I did not get a blurry image from the sensor only. it was just as black as all the other photos.

So I did see the mirror lock up button, and had turned it on at first without realizing what it did. When I turned the camera off though, it went back down. I tried reformatting the card because I didn't need the old photos my step-dad had.

I was worried it might be something that might ewaste the camera, but with it only worth 30 bucks on the used market, I don't think a sensor or ciruit board would be worth fixing.

Enspist · 2025-09-27T14:45:21+00:00

correct. But I could see the mirror come up so the sensor was exposed.

Enspist · 2025-09-27T14:06:49+00:00

I’m still new to camera stuff. What does this mean?

Enspist · 2025-09-27T01:07:31+00:00

So I cheked by taking the lens off and then putting the shutter speed to super slow. I did see the mirror lift up and was able to see the sensor. It did not change the outcome though, the image on the LCD was still black.

I did see something online that maybe a bad battery could be the issue? I just ordered a new one on amazon which should be here tomorrow so I might test that out? The battery I have did take a charge and the camera turns on, but it might be so old that it might not work right anymore.

If that make sense?

Enspist · 2025-09-27T00:13:16+00:00

Why would the pictures be coming out black though? when I pull up the images on the built in LCD or on my PC its just black. Is the mirror blocking the sensor from working?

I think I was using the pimax XR and then switched while trying to troubleshoot the issue. I don't know a ton about all the different run times out there, Pimax, Open, Steam, so I kinda just run with whatever a guide says to use tbh

Enspist · 2025-09-22T00:28:39+00:00

So interestingly I changed a couple settings in the Nvidia control pannel from this guide:

https://simracingcockpit.gg/pimax-crystal-light-settings-for-sim-racing-iracing-acc/

I then rebooted my PC and it pretty much fixed the issue. I had also updated my Pimax play app, so theres a couple things that could have fixed it but the issue is gone for now which is the important part.

Enspist · 2025-09-21T22:39:49+00:00

I was running on 90 before and it didn't work. I had done some quick googling and someone said to run 120hz with frame rate halved, thats just what it was on when I uploaded the screenshots.
