Two options: 1) you need some kind of phase reference (coherent demodulation), insert pilot symbols into x(t) 2) use AM modulation over one carrier only; this requires x(t) to have a known maximum amplitude: Let's assume x(t) in [-1, 1] and zero mean. The carrier c(t) = c_0 cos(wt+phi) is used to modulate x(t): s(t) = ( c_0 + x(t) ) cos(wt+phi) . This requires c_0 to be greater than 1, otherwise the sign ambiguity you've been talking about occurs. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. All in all it would be best to know what this BBC application is supposed to do.
