Any reason you are bothering to do HDMI to the XBox and Optical out? For one, Optical can't handle higher resolution signals. HDMI is required to get Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD and TrueHD formats. It would be better to just go straight from the PVR to the receiver.

Try this regardless of config: Turn your PVR box off (but leave everything you would use to watch TV on), and use the PVR remote (not a Logitech or universal if you have one) and press the "MENU" button once. This should bring up the OSD (on-screen display) of your PVR box and from there you can set it to 5.1 or Dolby Digital or whatever depending on your model.
