I would vote for a TV w/DVR. Also a lot depends on what you like to do while sewing. Watching tv/movies or do you really like to read when not sewing? I like to listen to books on tape while sewing and not watch much TV still I would choose the TV since the one I have is so old that you have to turn it on and adjust the volume manually . Also I currently do not read many books (listen to them instead) so a Kindle would not be my choice. Also do you already have a TV in your sewing area? Also are you adicted to the internet/emails in that case then the notebook is nice since it is portable. Lucky you to have a great choice.
