Get Dish on your devices.

Install Dish on your Android phone and Satellite on your Windows gaming PC. Both are free, open source, and signed end-to-end.

Step 1 · The client

Dish for Android

Phone / tablet

Play with on-screen controls in Xbox or PlayStation styles, gyro tilt-aim, the DualSense touchpad, a lightbar that matches the game, rumble in your hand, and the option to use a Bluetooth pad you've already paired. Connect to several PCs and up to 16 controllers at once. Finds your PC automatically and reconnects on its own.

Android 7.0+ · 6 languages (en, es, de, fr, pt-BR, bs) · Free · Open source · Privacy policy

How to install the signed APK (if you don't use Google Play)
  1. Download the latest dish-android-*.apk from GitHub Releases. Each release also ships a checksum file so you can confirm the download is genuine.
  2. On your phone, open Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps and allow your browser to install it.
  3. Open the APK. Android shows the app's signature before installing, which you can match against the one published in the dish-android repo.
  4. Launch Dish, tap Scan, and pair with the PIN.

Step 2 · The server

Satellite for Windows

The receiver. Runs on your gaming PC.

A quiet system-tray app for your gaming PC. Drops in next to Sunshine without a fight. The installer sets everything up in one click, and it keeps itself up to date from inside the app.

Windows only for now. Until the first stable release, Satellite ships as tagged builds on GitHub. Open the newest tag, download SatelliteSetup, and check it against the published SHA256SUMS.

  • Windows 10 / Windows 11: one click to install and you're done. It can start with Windows if you want, and there are silent-install options for setting up several PCs at once.
  • Verify before you install. Every release ships a checksum so you can confirm your download matches what we published. See verifying a release.

Verify what you downloaded.

Every release ships a checksum file so you can confirm your download is genuine and hasn't been tampered with. The Satellite repo has the steps. Don't trust anything you downloaded that doesn't match the published checksum.

Set up in 5 minutes.

  1. Install Dish on your Android phone.
  2. Install Satellite on your gaming PC and launch it.
  3. Right-click the tray icon, hit Open Web UI, and tap Generate PIN. Satellite shows a 4-digit code that lives for five minutes.
  4. Open Dish, tap your gaming PC in the list, and type the PIN.
  5. Press a button. Your game responds.
