Ideally, you should use DHCP.
Even better is to set up your router so that it gives your U4 a fixed IP address via DHCP too.
Doing this will make sure that your U4 registers itself with your router's DNS server, so you can access it easily by name "BeyonwizU4".

I have seen the EPG display in SD and when I press a button, I get the notified of a problem followed immediately by the Spikey wheel for a few seconds. The EPG showing in S...

It is much more up to date, and includes a more modern version of Kodi too.

It looks like it is trying to backup your settings to a USB device, and that USB device is either full or otherwise write-protected.

If you hold it in when booting, it will load into the firmware update mode.
It's just a second method for accessing firmware updates in addition to the front button.
