We put a PBI report on display: bought a big tv that's always on. The data refreshes because the report uses Direct Query. But how to automate the refreshment of the visual to every 5 minutes - without anyone touching the report?
Or is it the case that only 3rd party solutions are available as suggested in here.
Cheers!

HI @GoingIncognito ,
AFAIK, direct query model data refreshed when you interact with visual data, it does not support auto-refresh when you work on the desktop side. Maybe you can try to use live connection mode, it will auto-refresh every 15 minutes.
Data refresh in Power BI
