Hi,

files that are managed by services directly usually go into /var/lib/SERVICE/, 
e.g. channels.conf is updated automatically or when you shuffle channels in 
menu. Files that are meant to be edited by root go into /etc. The configuration 
files in /etc are readonly to non-root users/services.

Cya, Ed
