RG6 cable should be fine. Your installation should include a ground block
(near your electrical panel or some other grounded place) and than a splitter
to your modem and TVs. The modem should be the first and only thing on it's
leg of the splitter and the TVs on the remaining 1 or more legs. Get a splitter
that can handle all your rooms - up to 7 with an 1:8 splitter (hopefully they
all home run to the same point of origin outside).
