[mythtvnz] Mythbuntu -- time issues (again)

[AlanP]

Okay, so I made sure to configure Mythbuntu to synchronise time with the 
internet (picked a couple UK timeservers, on the basis that world time and 
GMT is defined in terms of Greenwich.)

It still can't keep time worth a damn.

Not really an issue anymore (Dad is resigned to getting my sister to fix 
the time (I moved out, but still fix the &*$# thing)), but the child 
problem is that the remote frontend in the shed packs a poo when the time 
on the frontend PC and the time on the backend PC is out. Nothing I've 
tried fixes the clock on the backend, and I can't afford to replace the 
motherboard and CPU.

Is there any way to get the remote frontend to ignore the time difference 
and run mythfrontend anyway (preferable)? Or to get NTP to somehow slave on 
a regular basis to the backend PC?
