Have you looked into Channel Groups?  You can configure one or more custom
groups (Setup > Video > Channel Groups), and there are more relevant
settings in Setup > Video > General > last page.  You can then toggle
between All Channels and a custom group that you define.  And, as another
reply mentioned, you can directly enter a channel number, even I believe
for an invisible channel.
