Yes, except for HD content, which is too big.

Luckily for us, most of South America has chosen ISDB-Tb for Digital
Terrestrial Television (DTT). It´s just the Japanese dtv standard with
the addition of H.264 compression.

It´s got no encryption, so it´s a matter of getting a
recording-capable set top box, and insert a huge pen drive on its USB
port, and pressing Record. The result is a perfect-quality H.264
movie. The only "problem" for purists is commercial breaks (which can
be edited out anyway) and the station logo overlay.
