one skip and you didn't even try to watch it at all? Dude, this is a gen 1 machine. That sort of thing is going to happen from time to time - the perils of early adoption. If one skip makes you give up you should probably sell and wait for more stable hardware.
This probably sounds harsh but it is not intended that way.
Just have a little more patience and give your precious lots of attention, it's feelings are proably hurt.
"sorry daddy"

Dude
I gave up on the movie, not the technology, 1 was dreary and predictable, 3 bland (and I didn't think that the transfer was the tier 1 everyone's claiming it to be) so I didn't need to go back to 2 - time to sell the box and move on to something more interesting
I think that I got a bit excited by the DeepDiscount sale and bought anything even remotely interesting - eg I replaced a SD version of Training Day, which I haven't watched, with a HDDVD ,version which I still haven't watched
Still, I'm happy with 90% of the titles I've bought - I just don't want to repeat my SD DVD fiasco where 50% of my discs are still unwatched

- HDDVD is more like SACD & DVD-A so far where you can collect every title that interests
Cheers
