Lots of Linux media players support TS. The reason to keep them as TS is because the TS stream contains error detection CRC checks that can be used by the decoder to hide the errors better. I don't know which Linux decoders use this information yet, but it is good to keep. If you transcode the TS streams to something else you loose all these error detection functions. It would be OK to transcode the TS stream if it contained NO errors, but if it contained errors, it is best to retain that format. Errors normally occur due to interference, e.g. Too much rain for DVB-S, badly pointed antenna, bad lossy cables.
