Can I watch an On demand movie on 2 boxes?

I have two cable boxes in my house. Can I rent an On demand movie and start watching it on one box, and finish watching it on another?

From a box stand point, they don't communicate with each other on OnDemand purchases. When you accept to be billed, the receiver talks to the biling side of our network and will see if that movie is still within the rental period. If it is, you should get a message stating "You will not be billed at this time". You want to make sure you are ordering the exact same movie, for example if you order HD, you need to make sure you order HD on the second box. In addition, if you have one HD receiver and one SD, I suggest ordering in SD if you think you will be watching it on the other TV. You will be billed twice if you order the same title in HD and SD.
