How to display direct connect on TV?

I have a direct connect report that I want to display on a tv. The data source updates every 15 minutes.

I can't figure out a way to show the update without reloading the webpage. Is there a better way?

What's the best way to display this data on a TV? We've considered AppleTV, Chromecase, Android stick.

The proper supported way to have this happen is to pin the tiles you want to a dashboard.

 

Dashboards automatically refresh with the data refresh where reports don't.

 

We have multiple clients doing this currently on TV's hooked up to Intel Computer Sticks.

 

From our testing ChromeCast, Android Stick's web browsers have had bugs taht stopped it from being viable.  We last tested them about 4 months ago.
