Answering both questions and thanks for the responses. I purchased a micro HDMI to VGA converter on Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00879EZJI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it seems to work fine. I can see the system briefly at boot up as well as when it goes into X but after about 5 seconds the display goes into powersave mode. I'll have to look and see if I have a VGA port on any of my TV's, otherwise, I don't have an adapter.
I am able to SSH into the system using the USB cable and my Macbook. Is there a way I can set it to a low resolution that both BBB supports and the monitor. I tried modifying the uEnv.txt file per the BBB HDMI support wiki but then I saw that's only for the boot sequence. Is there another way to force this?
