16VSB is an abbreviation for 16-level vestigial sideband modulation, capable of transmitting four bits (24=16) at a time.
Other slower but more rugged forms of VSB include 2VSB, 4VSB, and 8VSB. 16VSB is capable of twice the data capacity of 8VSB; while 8VSB delivers 19.39 Mbit/s (Megabits per second) in a 6-MHz television channel, 16VSB could deliver 38.78 Mbit/s, while making the sacrifice of being more prone to transmission error.
While 8VSB is the ATSC digital broadcast modulation format, 16VSB was planned for cable distribution. 16VSB is about twice as susceptible to noise, therefore less suitable than 8VSB for broadcast, but well suited to the signal-to-noise ratio of hybrid fiber-coax distribution, allowing twice as much programming in a 6-MHz channel.
However, as of 2007, a majority of cable companies have chosen to extend their existing quadrature amplitude modulation-based systems to carry digital television rather than adopting any form of VSB. It is probable that 16VSB has been replaced by ANSI/SCTE 07 2006: Digital Transmission Standard For Cable Television, a cable standard that defines 64QAM and 256QAM transmission for digital cable.
In telecommunications, 2VSB is an abbreviation for 2-level vestigial sideband modulation, a transmission method capable of transmitting one bit (21=2) at a time.
Other faster but less rugged forms include 4VSB, 8VSB, and 16VSB.
4VSB is an abbreviation for 4-level vestigial sideband modulation, a type of radio transmission capable of transmitting two bits of information (22=4) at a time. Other faster but less rugged forms include 8VSB and 16VSB. While 2VSB is more rugged, it is also slower.
Alright, all of you bloody bastards
Better hold tight
Oh yeah
It's Saturday night
Cockfighting rumbles
Going all night, alright
Tonight
Oh yeah it's cockfighting saturday
And I say Oh say Oh
All right, I'm gonna fuck or fight
It's my way, it's alright tonight
Oh it's saturday night
Oh I'm getting high and I say
Alright so high
At midnight
I'm out for blood and I say
Oh yeah, it's alright tonight
Give me your life
I'll give you mine
Oh a rumbles on tonight
It's do or die
An eye for an eye
