Yes, you could connect via HDMI and make the necessary configuration changes. Alternatively you could write a default Raspbian image directly to the card, which seems to auto-sense the input.

I don't have much experience with NOOBS, but with Raspbian if you put your SD card into your computer you may get a partition called boot. In there may be the config.txt file.

are you opening up botched.bin?

if so, this isn't the file I was referring to. There could/should also be a file called config.txt in the same folder.

Ok. Your installation may not require a config.txt.
Try the step by step solution on this page: https://bhavyanshu.me/tutorials/force-raspberry-pi-output-to-composite-video-instead-of-hdmi/03/03/2014/

In step 3 it will ask you to press 1,2,3, or 4. Number 3 is for PAL televisions, and 4 is for NTSC televisions.
