tdd
vhs
blackberries
decoder box

Explanation:

To determine the device Ellen needed in the 1980s to view captions, we analyze each option:

• TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) is for text communication, not caption viewing on TV.
• VHS is a video - recording format, not a device for caption viewing.
• Blackberries are mobile devices popular much later, not relevant to 1980s caption viewing.
• Decoder boxes were used in the 1980s to decode closed - caption signals for TV viewing.

Answer:

Decoder box
