Putting addition on house

I'm adding on to my house and wanting to put several TVs in the addition but need to know what cables to run. Do I run CAT5, coax or ethernet? I hear there are wireless receivers now, but not sure. I need to add 5 connections but will still have 3 connections in the existing part of my house. What is my best option?

Best option is to run RG6 solid-copper core coax cable from a central hub to each room. I would also run CAT6 ethernet cables. Don't rely on wireless/WiFi.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks Litzdog.
