No. The fact that you can use your RTL dongle as SDR device is because one can *bypass* most of the digital logic (demodulator, decoder, stream extractor…) and just get a raw IQ stream. Decoding DVB-T in software is a really CPU-intense problem, due to high-rate (in both senses of the word) channel coding, complex synchronization, and high-order constellations used.
