Searching with MC for *ntp* confirms their absence.
Run NTP on a Linux box. It will now operate as a server. Configure that STB to use that Linux box as a server. Fire up Wireshark on the server to see what's coming from/going to that STB. Without data, we're only guessing. You can configure Wireshark to watch for IP, MAC address, protocol etc. Try filtering on port 123 first. If that fails, try the IP address for the STB. If that fails, try it's MAC address. Let us know what you see.
Filtering on port 123, only the pool server address, server address, and IP of another PC booted and configured only for server instead of us.pool.ntp.org in /etc/ntp.conf show up. Filtering on the STB IP, I see its IP (and server IP, since from it I telnet to the STB to run its shell) when I use it to ping Google. I also see Wireshark traffic to/from the STB using MC's FTPFS to manage its files. With time.nist.gov I tried in its GUI to make the STB sync after boot failed to sync automatically, and it failed twice, each time producing no additional Wireshark output. In its GUI I changed it to time.mit.edu and tried again. It succeeded in syncing but without producing any additional Wireshark output. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
