OK, so with Luke's amazing help, I managed to get some output on my TV on Ubuntu (yaaay!), so I'll post our findings here.
Using another machine, SSH into the board (yes, SSH is enabled by default).
First, you need to update your kernel and u-boot. This is simply done via:
For me, the u-boot was already at latest version, so no worries if that happens. After both finish, reboot.
Then, edit /boot/uEnv.txt and add the following line:
Then reboot again.
Please note that (for me at least) after all this, there was still no signal coming into my TV, so I unplugged and re-plugged the HDMI cable into the board and voila! It started working.
Thanks Luke for all the help!
