Cat 6/7 and I’d put a good HDTV antenna in the attic and drop coax cables into rooms for free HDTV local channels

Or just drop it into a media closet to a Plex server to run to the whole house

You can run coax if you want, but it's not needed for free OTA locals. Get an HDHomerun to put your locals on your network, then you can watch by using the HDHomerun app on your streaming device rather than switching TV inputs. You can then also watch TV on your phone/tablet/computer, and you will also have several options to set up DVR for your locals (hdhomerun scribe, plex, etc).
