Though there may be some context which would make your word order more acceptable,
that would be more likely, spoken, by me at least:

Can I watch TV between 7 & 9?

It is certainly acceptable to ask it this way.

Picky English teachers would tell you to use "May I" instead of "Can I." Emotion: smile

It could also mean that you watch tv for at least 7 hours but no more than 9 hours. I hope that means per week, not per day.
