Time

[EnoSat]

Without a TDT/TOT signal, the time is reset to zero even though NTP update is enabled

Is that NTP address correct ? 'sk.pool.ntp.org', try with 'pool.ntp.org' instead.

Is that NTP address correct ? 'sk.pool.ntp.org', try with 'pool.ntp.org' instead.Looks OK to me:


[gmllaptop]: host sk.pool.ntp.org
sk.pool.ntp.org has address 213.160.182.226
sk.pool.ntp.org has address 212.55.254.189
sk.pool.ntp.org has address 213.81.129.99
sk.pool.ntp.org has address 185.242.56.5

Is the difference between these two times really 1.7 Billion seconds?

The OP image shows a date of 1st Jan 1970. (Approx) 1.7 billion seconds is the difference between now and 1970. I there is a real time clock (RTC) in the box then 1970 would be the date/time it may indicate if it wasn't powered by a battery backup.

Random Google search
The date January 1, 1970, is significant in computing because it is the starting point of the Unix time system, which is a way to track time in computing. In Unix and many other systems, time is often stored as the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight on January 1, 1970. When a computer encounters an error in calculating dates, it may revert to this default time as a way to handle the error and prevent crashes or unpredictable behavior. This default time is also known as the "epoch time".

Yes I know about the unix start time, but the two lines clearly state two times and the third states the difference between them which is obviously nonsense.
