(Note: ignore the space before the Windows in the below reg key names, I've had to add that in to stop this web site from splitting the long line)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\EPG

and create a DWORD value named
disableUpdateDiscSvc
and then set its value to 1

I would then create a reg key called

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\EPG

and create a DWORD value named
disableUpdateDiscSvc
and then set its value to 1


Not sure which one is required on 64 - but creating both should stop the discSvc key being clobbered. If its still getting changed, I'd go back with regedit and see if these reg keys you created are still present.
