Can you get her to at least sit on the potty while you, say, clean her teeth and wash her face? You can tell her she doesn't need to do anything, just sit there.
Same with sitting on a potty in front of the TV. Again, tell her she doesn't have to do anything, just sit there.
I'd forget the bribes/rewards btw - to my mind that makes it far too important, rather than matter of fact.
If she won't even sit on it without having to do anything, I'd say totally leave it for a couple of weeks, and then try again.

My son was easy. He didn't fuss or argue. Just went when we told him too and had very few accidents.
My second child (daughter) seemed like she was going to be just as easy (but that is because we were using my first as a comparision) and it wasn't so. But we just put her on at regular times. Every 15 minutes after she ate and drank until she went and made a really huge deal when she did. We used pullups and when she got to the point where she was having very few accidents in her pullups, I just put a panyliner in her underpants and she responded well to that. She had enough protection to get her to the bathroom if she waited too long, but not the comfort of a pullup to keep the moisture away from her if she felt like being lazy or just didn't want to comply.
Now the third one was not nearly as nice to us. She was telling us she had to go potty by 18 months, but REFUSED to sit on that toilet. I never had a potty chair until I had her. I tried the usual cusion seat on top of the toilet first because I hate potty chairs, but that didn't work, and we did resort to putting the potty chair in front of the tv and so on. Never thought about using it at the table though. I will have to file that idea away for when my children are training their kids.
But she just didn't want to so for her, we would try her and if she wasn't open to it, we waited two weeks and tried again. After a couple of months, she was open to the idea and decided that she wanted to go on the potty train too.
