Hand me down box

My mother in law gave me her 2 month old direcTV stream box. Can I use it for my DirecTV stream service at my house? How does that work?

Maybe. Did she deactivate that box from her account?

As long as your mother-in-law has her box paid for in full and owes nothing for it also make sure she is signed out of her account on the box you should be able to use it by signing into your streaming account.

I know she bought it outright and her service has been canceled. Should be good to go then?

Give it a try and see if you can activate it.
