Future-proofing my house

I'm thinking of dropping some extra cables from the roof and through the wall behind my TV unit.

Just a little confused by the welter of options, so can someone precis for me please?

It would seem sensible to allow for a sat TV cable/s - so, how many of those 'LNB' thingies, cables and wall sockets?

Do I need to bring the telephone line into this melee?

I'm assuming that with a link from the router I can link other PCs in the house media-wise?

If I eventually go for a computerised type of 'media centre', I assume I need an RJ45 or wi-fi from the router (attic)? Will one suffice? Anything else I need to think of to cover the next 10 years? Right now at 2.2mb, serious streaming is not an option, but, hey! Who knows what my £6 telephone surcharge will bring??
