 From my experience that tends to be when the device is outputting a 
resolution that the TV doesn't support. Many of the TV manufactures 
cheap out and do not include re-scaling for resolutions outside of the 
common "TV" aspect ratios. I currently have this issue with a HTPC and a 
Plasma screen during boot, before X comes up.

I do not have my unit yet, but I'm guessing that your TV just doesn't 
support the resolution the ubuntu image is booting with.

Try testing it against a DVI monitor using a passive HDMI-DVI adapter 
and see if you still have the same issue.
