"I don't understand why this is still an issue after 4 years."
I make it closer to five years. 
Apparently freedesktop.org is not interested in updating their files.

Title:
  .ts files always get recognized as application/x-linguist and never as
  video/mp2t (mpeg transport stream)

Status in shared MIME database:
  Fix Released
Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: shared-mime-info

  I checked Hardy, Jaunty and Karmic: *.ts files are always mapped to
  application/x-linguist by
  /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml. But there are several
  Linux-based settop boxes that record videos in *.ts-files. So if
  application/x-linguist is obsolete then it should simply be replaced
  by video/mpeg. Otherwise the mime framework has to distinguish such
  files by inspecting their headers. If someone knows more about
  x-linguist files, please add a comment!

  The problem has already been reported upstream two month ago (see
  freedesktop.org above). But for 10.04 LTS we should fix it by a patch,
  if it is not fixed upstream by then.

  As a workaround copy the attached file to ~/.local/share/mime/packages/mpeg-ts.xml and update your mime-database with:
  $ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime

  To trigger the regeneration of failed thumbnails just delete them:
  $ rm ~/.thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory/*.png
