I suggest you also run some ethernet cable while you're at it. That's what
feeds my tv's now that I've gone digital. Only place I use RG6 now is from
the antenna to the tuners in the server.

Cat 5 utp handles gigabit ethernet. Any plenum rated cable should be fine.
You can get cat 6 if you're worried, but I wouldn't be. Brand? I don't
care as long as it's certified.
