It should be possible, but there's no easy way to add all your channels. Basically you need to find the input url VLC uses for each channel. Not sure how this is exactly done in Windows, but it should be something like this:
Code:
dvb(-s/t/c)://frequency=num: program=num
go to Edit Media with a browser and copy paste that to 'New item' and alter the url a bit (add dvb-prefix and remove spaces):

Code:
dvb://dvb-frequency=num:program=num
Name the channel, put it to some category and save. Try to view it. If it works, repeat this for each of your channels.

I could someday try to make a script that does this automatically using Linux' dvb-utils or something. Let me know how it went.
