The way I interpret the docs, you can use `service' instead of
`simple-service' if you want to replace the default Guix channel.
(By "extending the service", the manual means `simple-service';
by "directly configuring it", the manual means `service'.)
The following ought to do it:
(service home-channels-service-type
(list (channel (name 'my-guix) (url "...") (branch "...")
(introduction ...))))
I expect the note in the docs about using `simple-service' by default
is just meant to avoid misunderstanding, as users might not expect the
default Guix channel to disappear if they use `service' to configure
`home-channels-service-type'.
Cheers,
Timo
