Kristal-Astro is the sole operator of Brunei's multi-channel pay-TV service. It was officially launched on 24 January 2000. The company is a joint-venture between Kristal Sdn Bhd and Malaysia's Astro Television Network System (Malaysia) Sendirian Berhad, a subsidiary of Astro Malaysia Holdings Sdn Bhd.

All channels are customised to ensure that all programmes adhere to Brunei's religious, cultural and social values. Subscribers will also have access to pay-per-view services, as well as a wide range of interactive services, such as home banking, home shopping and distance learning.
