The TV problem I replied about previously is back again too.  A
summary:

1. The shared memory size allowed must be big enough in the
/etc/system file on champion (> 1.5 Mbytes or so)

2. You can't run the TV servers on tiffany if it is an Xterminal and
you cannot share memory between two stations even if both are real
computers.  If you run XAS et al on champion with the $DISPLAY set to
tiffany, then you must turn off the shared memory.  REad CookBook
chapter 2 sections on starting aips (they are the man page for aips
and also the help file for aips) and the help file for XAS to see how
to turn off the shared memory.  It is a good idea to use shared memory
whenever possible for speed.  For use on tiffany, try tv=local on
champion with the $DISPLAY set to tiffany.
