Ofcom do not hold data for digital coverage in individual constituencies, however digital terrestrial television is unavailable to around 18 per cent. of the Scottish population and less than 1 per cent. of the UK are unable to receive digital satellite.

The Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber constituency is primarily served by two transmitters; one near Rosemarkie serving Nairn and most of Inverness, and Torosay transmitter on Mull, serving western coastal parts of the constituency. Both of these are transmitting digital services. Other areas are likely to be receiving signals from smaller relay stations, which have not yet been upgraded to digital.
