As you would expect, your exiting WeChat account (Chinese version) will be integrated with the WeChat TV system. What’s more, users will even be able to speak names of TV shows to WeChat on their smartphones which will in turn provide information on the subject along with the ability to directly stream the show on WeChat TV.

No word on pricing yet, but according to Tencent, WeChat TV will be out before the Chinese New Year (January 31).
