You can do better than that, at least in certain cases.  North American
channels go into the 60s (I forget which one is the top).  I have a TV
that, when set to pick up broadcast channels, will go directly to
channels 7, 8, and 9 when you press those buttons, since there are no
channels 70-99 -- putting in a second digit would be pointless.

I think it's best to have an algorithm that will search through all of
the available channels (or just the channels you want to see), and go
directly to the channel if there aren't any others.  If you have a
channel 125 but nothing higher, for instance, you'll have to do '012' or
'12' and Enter to go to channel 12, but '13' will take you to channel
13.
