Dave,
    The IDV do have a automatic updating feature. Although, I never try this 
feature on the satellite images, I believe it works. To do it, you should bring 
up the data source properties window, (in the Dashboard, Field Selector, and 
right click on the data source you selected), and there is a Automatically 
Reload check box to control the reload, and anther timing check box to set up 
the time for every checking. Let me know if you have any more question about 
this feature.
