Select Default storage group and type:
/media/Store/Recordings
There is an issue with myth recordings directories that might be tripping you up, the directory should be owned by the mythtv user and myth wants some slightly odd permissions.
If you get a cannot write to storage directory error (it says something like that) then try the following commands, you should be able to copy & paste them into a console but check the paths are right for your system first in case your first storage directory is not in the usual place. You will be asked for your password before the first command but probably not the second.
sudo chown -R mythtv:mythtv /media/Store/Recordings
sudo chmod --reference=/var/lib/mythtv/recordings /media/Store/Recordings
It would be nice if myth offered to fix these permissions for you if they are wrong but I don't know how to code that.
Hope this helps.
