tsMuXeR with tsMuxerGUI available for linux, can read these files and 
has a cut function if you only want to cut at front and at end. So you 
have to know how many seconds from start-point you want to KEEP and 
where to stop.
Very usefull on recording with NO commercials in the middle. I use it 
for BBCHD ArteHD etc.
If there are more commercial-cuts needed you can demux with above 
mentioned tsMuxeR/tsMuxerGUI, mux with mkvmerge GUI version which has a 
flexible split function part1-of-12min part2-of-6min part3-of-16.20min 
etc. You can after that join the even-numbered files with the same 
mkvmerge GUI to a final-commercialfree.mkv
