Convert a wall DATA socket to a wall SAT TV R socket

Hello everyone.

Sorry if I’m not using the correct terms or names for the sockets, but here is my issue.
We recently moved in and we've connected our SFR box to a "double data" wall socket.

We would like to rearrange the living room and therefore move the TV as well.
Before moving everything, I tested the box in a "SAT TV R" socket, using an adapter (included with the box, but I don’t even know if it’s the right one!) to connect the cable to the R socket.

But my box found no network and got stuck on initialization. So no more Wi-Fi or TV (in the meantime, I put it back on the "double data" socket and as before, it works).

Here is my question. Is it possible to connect an SFR box to a SAT TV R type wall socket?
If so, what equipment do I need? An adapter? Do I need to completely change the socket?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards.

Richard.

Hello and welcome,
no answer because the question is not specific enough:
Individual reception (house) or collective distribution (building)?
Is the SAT TV Radio socket also located in the living room?
This socket provides satellite, DTT, and FM Radio signals if antennas are connected, but in no case data
The adapter is used to potentially connect the box to the TV antenna for reception via a rooftop antenna

There is no other solution if you want to receive TV via ADSL than to connect an extension between the double data socket and your box
