I am strongly against this.
*.ts may conflict with KDE, but it is a usual ending for transport stream. 
Several mpeg-tools can handle this. I think the dreambox is also using *.ts 
for its recordings.

*.mpg would give much more problems with applications. A TS is not an 
mpeg-file. Applications which can play mpg but not TS may even crash.
