No output vis HDMI for new Pi zero

I've just received my new Pi zero, installed Xbian onto the micro SD card, plugged it via HDMI into my TV but there is nothing. The green LED on the Pi is flashing but no output. It's the same cable as used with my PI B so I know it's OK. Have I done something wrong?

http://www.xbian.org/getxbian/ does not list any downlads for the Zero.
Suggest you put the latest Raspbian Jessie on a card and boot that. If that gives HDMI output it proves the Zero hardware is OK and Xbian is the problem.

Though xbian show all thier images updated this year:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files
Therefore the image for the ZERO should be the same as the RPi 1 BCM2835 !

I've reloaded the SD card with the latest version of KODI and it now works fine. Thanks for all replies.

As KODI is not an Operating System could you confirm what you have actually installed ????
