Steps

Flash your RPi with a vanilla build of debian

Connect to your TV, net and apply power. In order for the HDMI to detect my TV I needed to have the TV set to the correct channel [b]before[/b] powering up the RPi.

Let the debian first boot setup run through, the on screen notes stated that the code may hang. I found that just leaving the process to run it will complete after about 5 minutes.
