It will be cat5e from the Nid to the RG.  Coax is no longer being used for Uverse installs, too many problems w/coax.

Good luck on the install 😉

Piggybacking on the question of Cat5 vs Coax here, how can secondary hard-wired receivers be hooked up?  It's my understanding that you have a main hard-wired STB/DVR and can then have 2 Wireless receivers max.  So for any additional hard-wired STB's can they be wired via Coax or Cat5?
