Try booting up with the keyboard disconnected - it could be a faulty chip on the keyboard.  Can't remember off hand what it's called, but you'll find it adjacent to the LED's.  Usually a faulty keyboard chip will generate a flashing sequence through the caps lock LED and prevents the Amiga from booting up.  This kind of problem seemed to affect A500+'s more than A500's.  From what I remember, the chip is soldered directly to an A500+ KB and socketed on an A500.

Might seem a stupid question but - you have tuned your TV in to receive the signal haven't you?

The frequency should be similar (if not exactly the same) to the output from a VCR.
