I am finishing my basement and just finished the wiring when I learned
that there is more than one kind of RG6 (the stuff I bought at Home
Depot is the garden variety type, not quad shield).

I have a 30 ft. run of rg6 that runs alongside one standard phone wire
and one cat5 line; at one point it crosses near a 12/2 120 v romex ac
line in a stud (perpendicular, not parallel). I brought the rg6 as
close to the front of the stud as possible to keep it away from that ac
line.

Do I need to rewire with quad shield rg6 to avoid interference? Or
should standard rg6 do the job??? Right now, I'm just using analog
cableTV, but one day will probably want HDTV.

Thanks for any advice you might have,

Danno

If your 12 inches away from power you will be fine.

Actuallly, it's only 2 inches away, but the lines are not parallel. AC
is line going horizontally thru the stud; rg6 is coming down the side
of the stud vertically (ceiling to floor).

Will this create a problem?

Nope, it should be fine. In reality, power doesn't create that much
interference.
