I've found that recordings from the Ross can be played back on a PC

If you use VLC you will not need to rename them.

Nontheless, MPEG-TS (transport stream) is sub-optimal for playback on a PC. You
should convert them to MPEG-PS (programme stream) using VideoReDo Plus, or
similar software.
Transport streams include error correction and other features for maintaining
received signal integrity, which are not required when the programme is stored
on disk.
