House wiring

I am renovating my house and want to install ATT Uverse wiring while I have the drywall removed. I was told that I will need to run RJ 11 cable from the outside box to the gateway next to the PC and then cat5 to a hub with cat5 running out of the hub to all the outlets for TVs throughout the house. Can I run cat5 instead of the RJ 11? Also what type of hub or switch do I need to split the TV signal to all of the TV outlets? After reading some of the posts on here, I'm not sure if this is the correct setup. Maybe I should run cat5 from the outside box to a hub/switch and then to the TV outlets and another cat5 from the outside box to the gateway next to my PC. I'm just trying to do all the wiring so when I sign up for service, the technician will have an easier time with the connections and not have to do a bunch of wire runs.
