The cable company can usually control/increase the voltatage to some extent. It depends some on the age of the system in your neighborhood. There is a standard if I remember correctly, they need to provide at least 1.0 V at the drop point into your house. A nice tech will sometimes raise the signal strength to compensate for poor cable and splitters.
As mentioned, older splitters might not be designed for 80+ channels and start to roll off above cable channel 58 or so.
I have heard stories that some people had too strong a cable signal, but it is pretty rare. It can overload the tuner.
