You can't tell the difference if the bitrate is hi enough, which for most channels it will be. NICAM will have more quantisation noise as it has a lower number of bits available per original sample, most MPEG audio will be at a higher sampling rate as well (48kHz typically).
Picture quality is another matter, I would say that some channels are taking the urine.
