Based on my brief reading of what TitanTV is - no.

Tivo developed their own TV guide listing that was used by the PVR to find and record your shows. MythTV had something similar, but has been, up til now free. Note: Tivo users had to subscribe to the guide services too, either monthly, or a one time fee for the life of that particular unit.

MythTV users to regain TV guide info -- for a price
By Nathan Willis on August 09, 2007 (10:00:00 PM)

The free electronic program guide (EPG) data that Zap2it Labs currently provides to many MythTV users is scheduled to shut down on September 1. Today MythTV users learned how much a replacement service offered by Schedules Direct (SD) will cost.

A three-month, non-recurring service plan will cost $15. After that, users will be able to pay for a month-to-month service plan whose price has not yet been determined, and will depend on the number of subscribers. SD guide service will cover the United States and Canada only.

Although the announcement did not give a fixed start date, it is expected to begin on September 1. SD hopes to finalize its ongoing service plans before the three-month period elapses.

SD is a nonprofit organization founded by developers from the MythTV and XMLTV projects following the termination of the free Zap2It service. Originally formed as Easy TV Data, the group changed its name to Schedules Direct in July to avoid possible trademark confusion....
