I'd purchase a Raspberry PI.  The power for this $30 computer can come from the 
USB port on the TV.  Output from the Raspberri PI is from the HDMI port into 
the HDMI port on the TV.

I'd have the Raspberry PI boot and load a browser full screen with no menu.  
That browser would be configured to display a HTML page from itself and have 
that HTML page refresh every "X" minutes.

I'd then from your production system, I'd generate that HTML and whatever 
graphs / charts that you'd like.  I would then have those files sent to the 
Raspberry PI via FTP, torrent, Dropbox or similar.

$0.02.

Subject: Displaying Content on a TV

We want to display a list of orders on a TV. coming from a VFP based
system.   Thus far I have generated a report to PDF,  then converting that
to a JPEG and displaying that on the TV/  Very clumsy and we have not been able 
to automate...

Would someone please recommend possible ways of accomplishing this?

Regards.
Desmond
