Kodi should be able to play the files without any problems.
Easiest/cheapest solution is to use a big disk. If we assume 1000GB=~1TB and your file is roughly 6GB/hour then a cheap 2TB disk stores roughly 300 hours. Many channels have lower bitrates so will use less disk space, so maybe you would get 500 hours or more (approx. 20 days of continuous watching). Throw an 8TB disk at the problem and you'd get 2000 hours (roughly three months worth of tv).
Personally, I prefer the "WD RE4" disks ($54 for 2tb), but even a cheap usb disk is fine for the workload.

i think that's what i'm asking. is there a way to "live" transcode that will not diminish the performance of the backend, and will produce a smaller sized file that has the same quality as the .ts files

There is no 1:1 quality transcoding, but with with supported nvidia video card

you can reduce stream bitrate to 1:4 or even 1:8
