Dish network -- What happens when you fall asleep?



I have had Directv for several years but am considering switching.
Here's one of the reasons:

Last night I fell asleep watching a program recorded earlier in the
week on Tivo. At the end of the program, if there is no user input,
the Tivo DVR switches to live TV.

Well, my daughter was still up, and what was on live TV was deemed
"inappropriate" by my wife... Now if I had chosen the program I would
defend my choice, and if my daughter had chosen it I would talk to her
about it, but this choice was made, annoyingly, by the Tivo unit
itself.

My old Ultimatetv unit used to just pause at the end of a recorded
program.

So if I go get a new Dish Network DVR, what will it do in this
situation?

Second question -- do the Dish Network DVR's have a 30-second-skip
button? The old Directv unit had one, but on the newer unit you have
to fast-forward. (It does have a ~7 second skip-back button but no
skip-forward). It seems to me that the features are being skewed away
from consumer interests and toward those of advertisers.
