In essence correct. To sum it all up:
On what I assume is your root partition you need to have two
directories, /media/storage and /media/storage2. As you have it added
to your /etc/fstab you should, if you run df after a reboot see the
two 1 Tb volumes being mounted on those two mount-points.
Then within those two volumes you can create directories you add to
your volumegroups. By adding the same directory for every volume group
you use to each drive and adding them both to that volumegroup you
will get a balanced use over the two volumes.
Check that each directory you create on the two drives is owned by
your mythtv user ( for example: sudo chown mythtv
/media/storage/recordings etc.) and that the rights are 755 or 750
(sudo chmod 755 /media/storage/recordings) Also both /media,
/media/storage and /media/storage2 should have at least rx rights for
other ( sudo chmod o+rx /media/storage2 )
