That home visit will just be some sales dude, not much help really. I would just go ahead and order the services.

Get good quality RG6 cable (and i mean good quality) and leave lots of slack at each end, the installer will jump at the chance of using it believe me. Its got to last so make sure care is taken on installation not to kink the cable or run it anywhere where it can get damaged.

Use white for internal runs as some black is not within fire regulations. If you need black make sure it is ok for internal runs.

When you order see if you can get a pre install check so someone can leave you the correct cable, if not you'll have to buy it.
