Maybe get a decent client for watching .ts files? I am using Chromecast with Google TV, and I find seeking of recording .ts files to be just as snappy as a transcoded .mkv. Post processing doesn't have to be as much of a burden as you are making it out to be. Just don't skimp on server CPU and your transcode will be completed fairly quickly. Just tell your roommate to wait x amount of time before viewing a recording and the mkv should be available for viewing.
