RG-6 is the appropriate cable, although like John says any 75 ohm coax (like RG-59) will work for short distances. Watch out for cable that says "RG-6 type" or something similar. Radio Shack tends to see prettly low quality coaxial cable, and if it says "RG-6 type" or something simililar its not very good quality.

Your local cable TV system uses RG-6 to run from poles to the house and to distribute signals within the house. You might ask if they have some scraps left over, or they might be able to tell you where to get the good stuff.

Again, if the run is short, say a few 10"s of feet, just about anything will work. If you"re going any distance, get the good stuff.
