I watch Amazon Prime on my Kindle Fire all cozily tucked into bed at night. It's nice to be able to change positions as necessary and just move the screen with me.

I can't even begin to tell you all the shows I binge-watched when my SFN symptoms were bad and kept me up all night. I was very happy to have the entertainment.

Hi Janieg, It's nights like tonight, with all night pain, that have started me watching TV after 10 years of not watching TV.

You sound very comfortable with your Kindle Fire.
My niece loves her Kindle Fire.

I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and Showtime. I have access to a large selection of XFinity/Comcast cable; yet, don't care for most of it.

Daredevil was a pretty good binge watch on NETFLIX. Super Hero based story but a lot more to it, story driven, it AIN'T AVENGERS. My favorite binge watching ever was all seasons of "24". Star Trek is also always Great stuff.

I hear you with the long nights, awake with pain.

What sort of programmes do you like to watch?

I watch a lot of documentaries, old tv shows, obscure foreign TV/movies, miniseries, etc... for free, on YouTube.

As, in addition to my spinal injuries, I have TBI, I can only handle screen time in limited bursts. Being able to stop and start a programme is a real asset.

My best to you.

I find that back to back episodes of tv series help get me through the misery and pain but I have burned through so many and need some ideas... anyone?
