Below is a pic of the cabinet where I think the cable lines enter the garage.
It looks to me like the signal comes into your home on the orange cable and then is split to four different rooms of your house.

HOWEVER, it looks like there might be other black cables that come in and go straight up and out to a room somewhere. If that is the case then I'm surprised that there doesn't appear to be a connector between the outside cable and the inside cable (unless it is hidden).

(it's also possible that unused interior cables were left unterminated in he box with the ends pushed into the conduit to make the box neater)

Regardless, you'll have to ask the previous owner or track the line yourself. Two ways I can think of to track it, buy a tester (fastest) or plug the modem into a location that makes sense and see if it syncs to the input signal (cheapest).
