I am finishing my basement & want to put in cable outlets. Can I run RG6 lines parallel to each other without interference? How about parallel to electrical outlet & light switch wires? How about distance between cable outlets & electrical outlets? Or is any interference going to be so minimal, I won't notice?

Yes and No, yes they can run parallel with other RG6's or CAT 5's But try to keep 8inches of clearance to 120v+ lines you can pick up interference Unless you spend a Bunch of money on shielded Cable's, you can cross RG6's and CAT5's with 120v+ lines but keep them from running Parallel for more then about 6inches at the time, as Far as the outlets if you can put the Cable outlet and Receptacle on different sides of the stub your fine, OH...The 8inches clearance Is VOID if you have your wires on separate sides of the stub(The stud will be your shield), Hence putting one on each side of the stud.

Shouldn't be a problem with interference Just make sure you use that conduit casing to run the wires, otherwise you could have a problem.
