Yes.  The Kodi wiki also has a guide:

I don't know if it's relevant to you, but one thing not yet mentioned is 
that mpeg2 support on these Android players is hit or miss.  You may get 
hardware decoding, or it may be fast enough to do it w/CPU, or it may 
not and your HD recordings could very well be unwatchable.

As far as your original question, just enable the Myth PVR addon, then 
configure the IP and services API PIN and you should be good to go. 
Kodi's UI is different than MythFrontend but can do the job.
