I wish the Central served-up DHCP since it is on 24/7
You don't need the Rio Central to be a DHCP server in order for it and the receivers to work in a non-DHCP network. As you said, both it and the receivers go into UPNP mode (169.x.x.x) in the absence of a DHCP server and will work just fine that way.
You can also manually assign it an IP address in the absence of a DHCP server, and the receivers will still work and in fact will still get assigned addresses from it (you can configure those things in its network screens). Not exactly the same thing as DHCP, but ends up acting about the same way.
This is the way I've got it set up now, the central is on 24/7 and it's on a fixed IP address that falls within the mask range of my DHCP network, and it controls the receiver's addresses and makes sure they also fall within that range.
