A channel number data entry system for a television receiver employing a numeric keyboard allows the selection of cable channels having channel numbers greater than 99, without the use of a separate ENTER or 100s key. Specifically, if the leading digit of a desired channel number is a number one, a measurement is made of the time interval during which the number one key is activated. If the measured time interval exceeds 2 seconds, then a three digit channel entry mode is enabled. If the measured time interval does not exceed 2 seconds, then a two digit channel entry mode is enabled. In both modes, the desired channel is tuned upon receipt of the final digit of the channel number. |
