Alan, if you do use conduit, remember to include a nylon cord in each conduit. This will allow you to pull additional cables in the future. Also, try not to do anything stupid, like stapling cables in place in inaccesible places. I live in a condo where they did the latter, and used under-sized conduit for runs from each unit to the roof. (Where the cable TV feed is.) These conduits now contain 30-year-old obsolete and decaying CATV feeder lines that cannot be removed, and with very little room left in the conduit for an additional cable. It cost my neighbor a fortune to upgrade his cable when he got an HDTV and digital cable service. BTW, off-topic, but do use the new "quad-shielded" CATV line! There are now a number of companies that produce a home-wiring "bundle" consisting of combinations of CATV and CAT5 lines. For example, you can get a bundle of 2 CATV coaxes and 2 CAT5 cables, all in a single sheath, or various other combinations.
