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.

Best regards,
Marcus
