Analog signals are encoded into MPEG2. Digital signals are saved as is, if they are in MPEG4 then they’re saved as MPEG4. Analog signals are encoded into MPEG2.

Without that access the best you can do is use an external receiver and record the SD analog signal - which is what an S2 does. Since you can't get better than that, there is no point in adding cost and complexity to the S3 to make it do this when they'll still sell the S2 for that. This was covered in past discussions – check out this and this.
