Is it possible to wire multiple RJ45 sockets on the same cable?

Hello,
I installed my network in my new house with a grade 3 communication cabinet. I installed a Cat6 cable in each room (living room, bedrooms...) and another of the same category in the TV room. In this TV room, I installed 4 RJ45 wall outlets. There's only one cable that arrives in this TV room with 4 pairs. I was thinking of using one pair per outlet. Is that possible? I understand that this is not done according to best practices, but I’m a bit stuck because I cannot run more cables. Do you think I can use one pair on this same cable to make the TV work, one pair for the satellite, one pair for the first network outlet, and the last one for a second network outlet?
Thank you for your responses

Hey,
No, never!!
The 4 pairs of the cable connect to the same socket.
After that,
you can add a (two actually, one on each end) pair splitter to connect the analog TV to another socket:
example
Moreover,
cat6 cable does not allow for analog TV; you need Grade3 sat cable which is better than cat7.
If you only have ethernet devices, you simply put a switch at the end of your socket.
You need to ask the right questions before doing it, not after... :-(
and ... There you go!
