[mythtv-users] Remove a Storage Group

Just create another storage group and add mythtv/shows2 to it... then the
recordings will still be available, but because none of your recording
rules target that group, nothing further will be written there.

Or, make the folder read-only to mythtv by changing the permissions...
IIRC, the system will detect this and not attempt to write recordings there.
