Personally, there is no way I would own any home without title insurance. While I'm sure that TV is pretty thorough in checking that there are no liens on property they have purchased, I just wouldn't be willing to take the chance. It's a small price to pay if someone comes along 10 years down the road and claims an inheritance or some sort of ancient land grant. Plus, it helps protect you from subcontractor liens.

All of that being said, it's not required and really up to you.
