When I remodel I install extra wall receptables, they are pretty cheap,
and dont forget pre wiring for sat, cable or ethernet.

easiest time to do this stuff is when wall is open.

Even better: install conduit.

When we built our home, we had "media outlets" in every room with conduit
home runs to a cabinet in the basement. The cabinet has the sattellite feeds,
and telephone line coming into it and houses a DSL modem and router.

When we need to add something to a room (phone, ethernet, coax, speaker wire)
it is a simple job. The conduit was a small extra cost and I didn't have to
guess what might be needed where - you always end up paying for too much
cable in some places and end up with not quite enough somewhere else.
