 Hi:

I read an earlier article that in one of the later Beta versions that the
SP3 upgrade had rendered Media Center inoperative.

Does anyone know if this current SP3 upgrade has resolved this issue? I
would hate to lose my TV capability.

Thanks

It only affects MCE 2002.

From the Release notes:

"Windows XP Media Center Edition
This issue affects Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002.

If you install Windows XP SP3 on a computer running Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2002 with SP1, Windows XP Media Center Edition may malfunction.

To avoid this, install Windows XP SP2 before you install Windows XP SP3."

In other words, this only applies if you are NOT running MCE at service pack
level two already.
