These tell me that you have not edited the /etc/services file - or
that your editing of it has not taken effect.

sssin           5000/tcp        SSSIN      # AIPS TV server
ssslock         5002/tcp        SSSLOCK    # AIPS TV Lock
msgserv         5008/tcp        MSGSERV    # AIPS Message Server
tekserv         5009/tcp        TEKSERV    # AIPS TekServer
aipsmt0         5010/tcp        AIPSMT0    # AIPS remote FITS disk access
aipsmt1         5011/tcp        AIPSMT1    # AIPS remote tape 1
aipsmt2         5012/tcp        AIPSMT2    # AIPS remote tape 2

need to be inserted in the file and any conflicting numbers need to be
commented out (e.g. radio free ethernet)

Often this does not take effect until after a reboot.  The services in
some networks (e.g. here) are created by yp (system-wide yellow pages)
rather than by the local /etc/services.  In such cases the system
managers must revise the yp files.

The TV may work in inet mode (without tv=local) when this matter is
corrected.
