Perhaps it's even better to shift numbers left upon number entry:

start with "00:00"  (or "--:--")
enter "1": "00:01"  (or "--:-1")
enter "2": "00:12"  (or "--:12")
enter "3": "01:23"  (or "-1:23")
and so on.

This way you don't have to bother whether VDR decided to let you enter two
or five digits this time which could get annoying I think.
