This from the HVR2200 linuxTV wiki page
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2200):

Open a terminal on your desktop and enter the following commands one at a time:

wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/22xxdrv_27086.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip
wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/hvr22xx/extract.sh

You should see some stuff downloading after each of the above. Next
(still in a terminal), run the extractor shell script:

sh extract.sh

You should now have 4 or 5 firmware files (*.fw) on your desktop. Now,
still in the terminal, copy these extracted files to the correct
place:

cp *fw /lib/firmware

Some linux distros, might need the following line instead of the above:

cp *fw /lib/firmware/`uname -r`

Hopefully this is simple enough!
