It is not unlikely that the HVR-2200 remote is very similar to my
Hauppauge Nova TD-500 and Hauppauge HVR-900R2 remotes, which are
virtually identical.  If so, then you can try the config files for
them that I have available for download from here (my personal web
site):

  http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/Nova-TD-500-lirc.bz2

I made this config largely using the information on this page:

 http://linhes.org/projects/linhes/wiki/Architecture_and_Customization

which describes how remotes work with the new kernel drivers and how
to debug each stage of the config.  That page is for LinHes, so there
are a few differences with Mythbuntu (some different commands and
placement of files), but most of the detail is the same.
