LG tweaked power management on the handsets, allowing users can view up to four hours of digital TV. These phones were created for demonstration purposes only, but show that mobile phones are capable of receiving free, over-the-air DTV broadcasts. LG didn't say if or when it would offer phones with these capabilities built in.
