Hello everyone,
I recently bought some powerline adapters to play online on my console more comfortably. However, when I plug in the powerline adapters, I can no longer receive TV channels (it says signal too weak), the internet connection for the console works fine, but it's impossible to watch anything afterwards. I have to unplug both adapters and set everything back up like before.
In itself, this might not be too much of a problem, but since the powerline adapters need to be plugged directly into the wall sockets, when I unplug everything, the TV, box, and internet modem all disconnect, and the rebooting process takes a long time.
P.S.: I have an SFR box.
Thanks in advance if anyone knows a solution.

Oh yes, sorry I thought I had specified it but actually I didn't, so they are intended for a wired connection (ethernet).
Alright, thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try :)

Hello,

No solution, at least with the little information we have.
Probably the line you have does not have enough bandwidth for both at the same time.

Best regards

  Okay, thanks anyway, but it seems strange to me because I don't use the console when the TV box is on, so the speed shouldn't be affected.

  Oh, my bad then, I didn't understand well.
  Indeed, if the powerline adapters (CPL) are not in use, they should not affect the overall speed just by being plugged in.
  
  So what is the brand and model of the powerline adapters?
  How are they connected (in relation to the box, other rooms and/or equipment, diagram?)
  Is the electrical circuit "recent"? Is it an apartment? A house? Same electrical circuit?

  No problem ;)
  These are devolo dLAN 550 (duo pack). I plugged each one directly into a wall socket. So basically, the 2 power strips that connect on one side "the TV, console, TV box" (in the living room) and on the other "internet box, phone" (further away in the living room) are connected respectively to one of the powerline adapters (I don't know if that's very clear haha but in short, I followed the rule that says to treat the powerline adapter as if it were the wall socket itself))
  it's a house but I don't think the electrical circuit is very modern and we don't have fiber.

  DL550 is it wifi?
  
  Yes, the essential rule is that the powerline adapter block must be alone on the socket, and you can plug other devices "through" the module.
  Ideally, if you have several sockets next to each other, it is better to put as few devices as possible on the powerline module itself. The powerline adapter is sensitive to certain disruptive electrical devices, whether they are too close or plugged directly into it.
  
  Your description strongly suggests this disruption issue.
  
  Ideally, you should test with the powerline adapters connected to the socket, check the pairing, connect the "wired" part (if it is not a WiFi kit, the 550 is sold under several types of kits) to the box and to the PC, then do a test with no other devices on the module. Power the other essential devices via another socket and an extension cord (but ideally still for the test, nothing at all).
  
  If everything works without anything, add the devices one by one and check each time which one is the disruptor.

  I have the same problem as you with CPL prices, so I went to see the IT technician and simply with a Wi-Fi key you can connect your box to your computer, you no longer need those sockets that are expensive and no longer compatible.
