Got my Raspberry Pi, but...

Got my Raspberry Pi...

Plugged in the card I got from Element14...plugged in power adapter I got from Element14...Raspberry Pi showed solid red light on. Is it supposed to?

Then...I plugged into my HDMI to my TV. TV was looking for something and never found it. Tried different settings. Nothing worked. Screen on TV never changed.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks for any help you can provide.

You need to plug in all your monitor/TV, keyboard, mouse, etc. BEFORE connecting power (otherwise it will not detect any monitor). It might take awhile to boot.

I don't have my Raspberry Pi yet, but longtime Linux user and I have read the wiki and downloaded the current SD card image to take a peek at it. The SD card may not have the most recent software. There are other discussions about that, for example http://www.element14.com/community/message/62360#62360/l/new-raspberry-pi-w-512mb--doa
