If I already subscribe to Rogers HDTV & rent an hd box,can a 2nd set with a built-in qam cable tuner pick up hd signals without a 2nd box rental?

It doesn't really matter what package you have,
as any digital box has to be specifically authorized
for everything EXCEPT what I have listed on this
unscrambled list. Even if you pay for other stations
on a Rogers box, that means nothing for a off-the-shelf
QAM tuner as all other channels are scrambled,
and they need a Cable Card from the cable company
to get authorization to unscramble them, and as
mentioned Rogers doesn't provide Cable Cards.

Any QAM tuner without a Cable Card slot will never
be able to receive anything but outright unscrambled
channels.
