Not really. DVB tuners work by (basically) dumping a stream of data to disk
so their output is just what the broadcaster sends. Freeview DVB-S is
standard definition and produces files you could play with that system.
Freeview DVB-T is HD (and using fairly advanced options at that) - that
system won't play the Freeview DVB-T files. You could transcode them down to
a format/codec it could handle but that's going to be hugely inconvenient.

Cheers,
Steve
