Did you set your X-1 to surround sound ? its in the device setup menu. Also keep in mind there are still a few bugs with the X-1 platform but the good news its getting better with each update they do.
If this is only because of the tv issue , comcast has admitted its a bug, and a simple solution for now is to use an optical cable which is what I've used from the beginning and can report it has worked well for 5.1 sources but there are still some on demand programing that is indeed still only dolby prologic.
I had an AVM 20v2 with old motorola dvr, you need to select a different sound mode when its only a 2/ch signal say PLII, Anthem's own or DTS NEO.
