Apart from checking the settings in your software after you click on the NTSC button, I can't think of any other way. I forgot to include the 525 lines that NTSC uses as opposed to 625 lines that PAL uses, well it's more like 600 or 610 as the rest are used for things like Ceefax, the audio track and picture information.
