Here you go:-

Process Name: Microsoft Media Center Scheduler Service

Description:
ehSched.exe is a process belonging to the Microsoft Media Center scheduler service, and installs scheduled updates for this product. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Process File: ehRecvr or ehRecvr.exe
Process Name: Media Center Receiver Service

Microsoft Windows Media Center and provides additional support for this Microsoft Operating System. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference

If you want to disable these services, try the following:

go to start > Run

Type in Services.msc

Look for each of these services:

Media Center Extender Service
Media Center Receiver Service
Media Center Scheduler Service

Double click on each service. First stop the service, then set each one to either Manual (starts up only when needed) or if that doesn't work, set it to Disabled. Hopefully this helps. :)
