If it autodetects as 37 and 'works flawlessly' you should
probably go with that. Whoever wrote about using card=72
may have had a slightly different model.

grep -i Pixelview /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST
  card=16 - Prolink Pixelview PlayTV (bt878)
  card=37 - Prolink PixelView PlayTV pro
  card=50 - Prolink PV-BT878P+4E / PixelView PlayTV PAK / Lenco MXTV-9578 CP
  card=70 - Prolink Pixelview PV-BT878P+ (Rev.4C,8E)
  card=72 - Prolink Pixelview PV-BT878P+9B (PlayTV Pro rev.9B FM+NICAM)
