Hoping you have some degree of comfort with the command line?  I 
recently set up one of these cards for my first MythTV FE/BE (0.24 + 
fixes) and while I am on Linux Mint with mythbuntu believe the same 
applies.  I needed to install the firmware as per the link below, the 
"making it work" section:

http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200

and what follows now pasted from my email to this list a few months back:

roger at gemini ~ $ dmesg | grep 7164

[  381.780138] saa7164_downloadfirmware() Waiting for firmware upload

[  381.784072] saa7164_downloadfirmware() Upload failed. (file not found?)

So still needed:

roger at gemini ~ $ wget

roger at gemini ~ $ sudo cp *fw /lib/firmware/2.6.38-8-generic/
roger at gemini ~ $ sudo modprobe -r saa7164
roger at gemini ~ $ sudo modprobe saa7164

roger at gemini ~ $ dmesg | grep 7164

And I have now been able to add 2 capture cards to mythtv backend!
