Foxtel mandates that you will require 2 x RG-6 cables plus either a telephone connection or internet connection. The two RG-6's are needed for the high definition digital signal and the telephone/internet connection is required to order from box-office. For the communication I have used CAT-6 (CAT 5/5e will do) since I have installed a home network with an Ethernet hub and Clipsal StarServe to distribute telephone and TV. Foxtel have pretty good documentation on pre-wiring your home on their website, check it out at at http://www.foxtel.com.au/FactSheet.htm Hope this helps! If it is cable or optic fibre (like my estate) then you don't need to run 2xrg6 cables. It is only satellite you need to run that so it can pick up both horizontal and vertical signals.

I will plan to have either Foxtel or satellite dish connection in future. Can I use RG-6 (coaxial) for either of these?
