Go to run and type services.msc, find Media Center Receiver Service, doubleclick, change the 'startup' box to manual, click stop. Gone forever.

Itt opens mexican TV stations in the background where you cannot turn it off. Ending process just restarts the process again and starts playing more things in spanish in the background. It's like an official Microsoft virus that you can't get rid of.

This program allows you to watch live TV in Windows Media Center. If you have an external TV Tuner (USB or PCIe card), you may need to stop this process in Task Manager before removing the TV Tuner.

File used in Media center. If you dont use the TV or Radio in Windows Media center disable this through MSconfig services.

It is a part of Windows Media Center that adds additional multimedia functions. Since I never use the Media Center software installed on my computer I continue to keep it turned disabled. However, certain events seem to trigger a restart of the exe.
