I'm 300m from the cabinet and there are more further down the road. Every 100m there's a cover in the pavement marked CATV. The distribution amplifier is there. Our house is tapped from the street and there should be a sort of water mains looking metal plate on the street side of your property. The tap would be in there. If it's filled with water ... bad!
The bit you may need to find out is if your street is line distribution or starred distribution. If it's line distribution, you shared the previous line with the other homes passed and now you have a provate wire to the cabinet. If it's starred distribution, then you're the only one re-pulled. I've no idea how or whether they amplify these lines.
Next:
Power Level
(dBmV) 12.84 12.82 12.79 13.30
If that's your new level from the cabinet, then attenuation due to distance isn't gonna be your problem! That will need bringing down to below 5 dBmv IMO allowing margin for cold nights.
