aahhhhh yes.....I remember that player specifically...if memory serves, this was one of the early hybrids that came out and one of the biggest issues was its compatibility with blu ray and some HD DVD disks.
I will tell you this for certain, unless you really plan to dig for some old HD DVD movies, I would say sell the player (or if you still have the receipt and are able to) or take it back to the store and get a regular blu ray (as they don't sell HD DVDs in stores anymore, only online) thus the issue with the firmware. I can tell you this much, part of your issue may stem from the fact that since HD DVD isn't supported at all anymore, LG probably won't bother with too many firmware upgrades for that particular machine to help you solve your problem...furthermore guessing that your pop's machine came out a generation before the BoB blu ray was released, it may not play due to iteration of Blu ray firmware profile that is out...(similar to like when an OS gets an upgrade some things continue to work...some don't)
go peep this link again

check out the section under Blu Ray Profiles for a better idea of what i am referring to.
Again, I would recommend trying to get a blu ray player and I actually have a recommendation for you at a good price.

Now if you look around hard enough like Circuit City or Best Buy, you CAN find it around the 250 or 260 mark.
