Depending on the area, the cable lines between outdoor boxes and the residence are the responsibility of the cable company.  As such, I'd suggest calling them to repair it for you (at no charge, depending on the area).  If nothing else, they could trace which line is yours for you.

Another thing that might be of assistance, is to call your local digging utility.  (Illinois' example found here: http://www.illinois1call.com/) A lot of locales require you to call a phone number and notify the locale of your plans to dig any large holes on your property.  They will come out for free and mark the ground with spray paint where underground utilities (water, gas, electric, telephone, *cable* lines etc) are found.  This might allow you to trace your cable line easier.

Otherwise, just unplug them one at a time and listen for a familiar yell...
