You could use a timer control to postback to the server ever hour if you wanted to.

But you're going to have to have to implement something server-side that is responsible for getting the next image every hour.

So, use an application wide variable to store the DateTime of the last time that the image was changed...if it has been more than an hour, implement that sets the URL to the "next image".
