A tiny piece of alum. foil inserted into one end of the coax so the collar and the center conductor short out will allow you to use a multi-meter at the other end of the available coax cables. When the meter shows and open short you know you have found the right cable. Even finding multiple cables that beep let you know they are connected somewhere via a splitter. Generally, all the coax connections will be separate except the outside Cable TV connection which might run through splitters other than the wall plate with the power supply for the OTA TV antenna.
