If she doesn't have computer access, how would your mom set up an iTunes account (if she wanted access to the iTunes Store) and does she even have internet access?
I must be missing some piece of the puzzle.

I agree that an internet connection would enable many more features of the Apple TV, but I believe edgarbc1 said it would be for home movies and music which he could easily preload with content so his mother could use it as a standalone unit.
Even the 40GB model will hold a bunch of video, music, and pics.
My vote is for the Apple TV.
yes this is the case...
i would use my itunes account and set it up at my place..
do registration, add home movies and music
mom would use the stand alone box and i would leave
the ibook there for my own access or bring it from my place
over if there are issues or updates which are needed.
she has little interest in going iTunes shopping or renting...
its mostly for home movies, photos and her existing music collection.
