DHCP will obtain an ip address from your router everytime you reboot so as you don't have conflicts with other user,s on your lan. local area network. so leave it on.

If you leave it on then you will have to search for it everytime you use DCC or need to ftp/telnet ( communicate with the box)
If you manually assign an internal IP then you will know it off by heart(especially for webif,oscam,CCcam ,etc) fault finding.. -
If Router allows IP reservation, it would be better to reserve IP for receiver. Receivers can continue to use DHCP and will always have the assigned IP.
