Incase anyone else has this same issue here is the solution: The b+ model uses less power, so the hdmi output isn’t strong enough for most modern tvs…simply uncomment force_hdmi_hotplug=1 in the /boot/config.txt file. Also hdmi_drive=2 helps with menu sound issues. Another issue I ran into was that the model b+ has improved Ethernet capabilities, so before you can connect SSH to the new model, you must first put your microsd card into an adapter, insert it into an old model b, and type sudo rpi-update to update the software, then put it back into your model b+ and the Ethernet cable should be recognized so you can find the inet address. Hope this helps anyone in the near future, as I’m sure many of you will be switching to the new model b+!
