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.

But isn't SDR demodulation in software?

can somebody confirm RTL-chip is not DVB-T2 capable not having 10MHz bandwidth needed?
The RTL2832U does not support DVB-T2 as it lacks the required demodulater hardware. On the RTL2832P, an external demodulator can be attached via a parallel MPEG TS interface. This is used by dongles manufactured by Astrometa, which attach a Panasonic MN88472 DVB-T2 demodulator, see [1].
