Couple watching videos on a laptop at homeNeed a TV or a phone for Christmas? Well a site called Lemall.com is offering 3 months of free DirecTV Now if you buy select TVs and cell phones and that is not even the most interesting part.

Here is the legal details of the offer:

*DIRECTV NOW: Compatible device & browser required. Residential customers only. Available in the U.S. only (excludes Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands). Free Trial: Promo code will be emailed no later than 1/1/17.  Must create account and redeem code by 2/1/17 or offer expires.  Limit 1 code per account. Cancel before end of 3 months or subscription automatically renews monthly and is charged to your payment method on file until you cancel. Pricing, channels, features, and terms subject to change & may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Live Sports & Local Channels: Limited availability. Channels vary by package & billing region. Device may need to be in billing region in order to view. Cancellation: View, modify or cancel at any time at directvnow.com.  Once canceled you can access DIRECTV NOW through the remaining monthly period. No refunds or credits for any partial-month periods or unwatched content.  GENERAL: Limit 2 concurrent streams per account. Programming subject to blackout restrictions. Taxes may apply.

Four things jump out to us:

Limit 2 concurrent streams per account.

So DirecTV Now will limit you to two streaming far fewer than the 5 streams many had hoped for.

Device may need to be in billing region in order to view.

Sounds very similar to how PlayStation Vue limits your access.

Channels vary by package & billing region.

So the question is what packages give us what channels.

Live Sports & Local Channels: Limited Availability.

Yup get ready for sports blackouts but that should have been expected.
