Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	ORGANIZATION Company Overview HSN, Inc. (“HSNi”) is an interactive multi-channel retailer that markets and sells a wide range of third party and proprietary merchandise directly to consumers through various platforms including (i) television home shopping programming broadcast on the HSN television networks; (ii) catalogs, consisting primarily of the Cornerstone portfolio of leading print catalogs which includes Ballard Designs, Frontgate, Garnet Hill, Grandin Road and Improvements; (iii) websites, which consist primarily of HSN.com, joymangano.com and the five branded websites operated by Cornerstone; (iv) mobile applications; (v) retail and outlet stores; and (vi) wholesale distribution of certain proprietary products to other retailers. HSNi’s television home shopping business, related digital sales, outlet stores and wholesale distribution are referred to herein as “HSN” and all catalog operations, including related digital sales and stores, are collectively referred to herein as “Cornerstone.” Chasing Fireflies and TravelSmith, two of the apparel brands in the Cornerstone portfolio, were sold in September 2016. See Note 14 for further discussion. HSN offerings primarily consist of jewelry, fashion (apparel & accessories), beauty & health (including beauty, wellness and fitness), and home & other (including home, electronics, culinary and other). Merchandise offered by Cornerstone primarily consists of home furnishings (including indoor/outdoor furniture, home décor, tabletop, textiles and other home related goods) and apparel & accessories. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of HSNi's management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with HSNi's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2016 were derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but may not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Recent Accounting Developments Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) ("ASU 2015-11"). The amendments, which apply to inventory that is measured using any method other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method, require that entities measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied on a prospective basis. HSNi adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact to HSNi's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2016-09"). This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The effective date for the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. HSNi adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies have been adopted prospectively resulting in the recognition of $0.4 million of tax expense within HSNi's consolidated statements of earnings rather than as a reduction to additional paid in capital for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Also, excess tax benefits related to share-based payments are now included in operating cash flows rather than financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. This change has been applied retrospectively in accordance with ASU 2016-09 and prior period amounts which are considered immaterial have been reclassified. We have previously classified cash paid for tax withholding purposes as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows; therefore there is no change related to this requirement. The amendments allow for a one-time accounting policy election to either account for forfeitures as they occur or continue to estimate forfeitures as required by previous guidance. HSNi has elected to continue estimating forfeitures under the previous guidance. Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 will disallow the capitalization of direct-response advertising costs which will impact the timing of recognition of Cornerstone's catalog production and distribution costs. This standard will become effective for HSNi in the first quarter of 2018. In 2015, HSNi established an implementation team (“team”) to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements, processes, systems and controls. The team is in the process of developing its conclusions and assessing the impact of several aspects of the standard including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the determination of when control of goods transfers to the company’s customers. HSNi will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. HSNi is still evaluating the accounting, transition method and disclosure requirements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheet as assets and obligations. The effective date for the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective method. HSNi is currently assessing the timing of adoption of ASU 2016-02 and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for HSNi in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on HSNi's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Estimates HSNi prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of HSNi's management, the assumptions underlying these interim unaudited financial statements are reasonable. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment for inventory; sales returns and other revenue allowances; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived assets; the impairment of intangible assets; the annual expected effective tax rate; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of incentive compensation.

Segment Reporting Information, Profit (Loss) [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION HSNi presents its operating segments and related financial information in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker and executive management view the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered and/or the target market. HSNi has two reportable segments, HSN and Cornerstone. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in HSNi's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. HSNi’s primary performance metric is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as operating income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash charges including: (a) stock-based compensation expense, (b) amortization of intangibles, (c) depreciation and gains and losses on asset dispositions, and (d) goodwill, long-lived asset and intangible asset impairments; (2) pro forma adjustments for significant acquisitions; and (3) other significant items. Significant items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have a disproportionate effect in a given period, thereby affecting the comparability of results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measurement of operating efficiency and overall financial performance and HSNi believes it to be a helpful measure for those evaluating companies in the retail and media industries. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to HSNi’s consolidated statements of operations of certain expenses, gains and losses; including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, depreciation, gains and losses on asset dispositions, asset impairment charges, acquisition-related accounting expenses and other significant items. The following tables reconcile HSNi’s consolidated net income to operating income for HSNi's operating segments and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 HSN Cornerstone Total HSN Cornerstone Total Net income $ 21,248 $ 28,585 Income tax provision 13,467 17,097 Income before income taxes 34,715 45,682 Total other expense, net 3,864 4,147 Operating income $ 37,512 $ 1,067 38,579 $ 49,645 $ 184 49,829 Non-cash charges: Stock-based compensation expense 3,392 1,312 4,704 4,039 1,337 5,376 Depreciation and amortization 7,707 3,179 10,886 7,003 3,522 10,525 Gain (loss) on disposition of fixed assets (49 ) — (49 ) 3 (1 ) 2 Adjusted EBITDA $ 48,562 $ 5,558 $ 54,120 $ 60,690 $ 5,042 $ 65,732 The net sales for each of HSNi's reportable segments are as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net sales: HSN $ 560,529 $ 578,383 Cornerstone 224,906 238,382 Total $ 785,435 $ 816,765

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	EARNINGS PER SHARE HSNi computes basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. HSNi computes diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method, which includes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the potential dilution that could occur if various equity awards to issue common stock were exercised or restricted equity awards were vested resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in HSNi’s earnings. The following table presents HSNi’s basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net income $21,248 $28,585 Weighted average number of shares outstanding: Basic 52,432 52,378 Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards 389 541 Diluted 52,821 52,919 Net income per share: Basic $ 0.41 $ 0.55 Diluted $ 0.40 $ 0.54 Unexercised employee stock options and stock appreciation rights and unvested restricted stock units excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their effect would have been antidilutive 3,814 1,919

Certain HSNi subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed HSNi's obligations under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, which includes a $750 million revolving credit facility and a $500 million term loan, may be increased up to $1.75 billion subject to certain conditions and expires January 27, 2020. The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities including a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 x and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 x (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). HSNi was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2017 with a leverage ratio of 1.9 x and an interest coverage ratio of 20.0 x. Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a predetermined margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% . HSNi can elect to borrow at either LIBOR or the Base Rate plus a predetermined margin which is determined by HSNi's leverage ratio. The interest rate on the $528.8 million outstanding long-term debt balance as of March 31, 2017 was 2.45% . HSNi pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% (based on the leverage ratio) on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The amount available to HSNi under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, which totaled $7.2 million as of March 31, 2017 . The ability to draw funds under the revolving credit facility is dependent upon meeting the aforementioned financial covenants. As of March 31, 2017 , the amount that could be borrowed under the revolving credit facility, after consideration of the financial covenants and the outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $472.6 million .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS HSNi uses derivatives in the management of its interest rate risk with respect to its variable rate debt. HSNi's strategy is to eliminate the cash flow risk on a portion of its variable rate debt caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR). Derivative instruments are not entered into for speculative purposes. HSNi uses interest rate swap contracts to eliminate the cash flow risk on a portion of its variable rate debt. HSNi pays at a fixed rate and receives payments at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR. The swaps effectively fix the floating LIBOR-based interest of our outstanding LIBOR-based debt. The interest rate swaps were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges; therefore, the effective portions of the changes in fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps will be immediately recognized in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. The interest rate swaps effectively convert $187.5 million of our variable rate term loan to a fixed rate of 0.8525% through April 2017, and then increases to $250.0 million in April 2017 with a maturity date in January 2020 with a fixed rate of 1.05% (in both cases the swapped fixed rate is exclusive of the credit spread under the Credit Agreement). Based on HSNi's leverage ratio as of March 31, 2017 , the all-in fixed rate was 2.3525% . The changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps (inclusive of reclassifications to net income and net of tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were income of approximately $0.3 million and a loss of approximately $0.2 million , respectively, and were included in other comprehensive income (loss). The fair values of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were assets of $4.1 million and $3.6 million , respectively, and were recorded in "Other non-current assets." The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2016 was a liability of $0.6 million and was recorded in "Other long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. HSNi estimates that approximately $0.5 million of unrealized income included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these swaps will be realized and reported in earnings within the next twelve months. See Note 8 for discussion of the fair value measurements concerning these interest rate swaps.

Fair Value Measurements (Note)

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value assumptions are made at a specific point in time and changes in underlying assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. HSNi applies the following framework for measuring fair value which is based on a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 —Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The following table summarizes the fair value of HSNi's financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands): March 31, 2017 Total Fair Value and Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Fair Value Measurement Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Interest rate swaps $ 4,077 $ — $ 4,077 $ — December 31, 2016 Total Fair Value and Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Fair Value Measurement Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Interest rate swaps $ 3,577 $ — $ 3,577 $ — March 31, 2016 Total Fair Value and Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Fair Value Measurement Category Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities: Interest rate swap $ 552 $ — $ 552 $ — HSNi's interest rate swaps are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. The swaps are entered into for the purpose of hedging the variability of interest expense and interest payments on HSNi's long-term variable rate debt. The fair value is based on a valuation model which utilizes interest rate yield curves and credit spreads as the significant inputs to the model. These inputs are observable in active markets (level 2 criteria). HSNi considers credit risk associated with its own standing as well as the credit standing of any counterparties involved in the valuation of its financial instruments. The carrying amount of the term loan and revolving credit facility outstanding under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value as these instruments have variable interest rates which approximate current market rates (level 2 criteria).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES HSNi calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes in interim periods. At the end of each interim period, HSNi makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date income or loss. The tax expense or benefit related to significant or unusual items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to share-based awards and the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of beginning-of-the-year deferred taxes in future years are recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year and permanent and temporary differences. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 , HSNi recorded a tax provision of $13.5 million which represents an effective tax rate of 38.8% . For the three months ended March 31, 2016 , HSNi recorded a tax provision of $17.1 million which represents an effective tax rates of 37.4% . The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has concluded its examination of HSNi's consolidated federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2010 and its limited scope examination of HSNi's consolidated federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2011. No material adjustments resulted from these IRS examinations. Currently, HSNi’s 2013 through 2015 tax returns are under audit by the state of Florida. HSNi does not anticipate any material adjustments to our tax liabilities as a result of the examination. HSNi and several companies previously owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp, or IAC, were spun-off from IAC on August 20, 2008. In connection with the spin-off, HSNi entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with IAC. Pursuant to this agreement, each of the companies included in the spin-off (the "Spincos") was indemnified by IAC for additional tax liabilities related to consolidated or combined federal and state tax returns prepared and filed by IAC prior to the spin-off. However, each Spinco agreed to, among other things, assume any additional tax liabilities related to their separately filed state income tax returns. All examinations have concluded or statutes of limitations have expired related to IAC's consolidated or combined federal and state tax returns for years including HSNi operations prior to the spin-off. The Tax Sharing Agreement also provides, among other things, that each Spinco indemnifies IAC and the other Spincos for any taxes resulting from the spin-off of such Spinco (and any related interest, penalties, legal and professional fees, and all costs and damages associated with related shareholder litigation or controversies) to the extent such amounts result from any post spin-off (i) act or failure to act by such Spinco described in the covenants in the Tax Sharing Agreement, (ii) acquisition of equity, securities, or assets of such Spinco or a member of its group, and (iii) breach by such Spinco or any member of its group of any representation or covenant contained in the separation documents or in the documents relating to the IRS private letter ruling and/or tax opinions. This indemnification remains effective until IAC's tax returns for the two year period after the spin-off are no longer subject to examination.

The Second Amended and Restated 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), authorizes the issuance of 8.0 million shares ( 8.8 million shares after giving effect to the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan related to the special cash dividend paid in February 2015) of HSNi common stock for new awards granted by HSNi. The purpose of the Plan is to assist HSNi in attracting, retaining and motivating officers, employees, directors and consultants, and to provide HSNi with the ability to provide incentives more directly linked to the profitability of HSNi’s business and increases in shareholder value. As of March 31, 2017 , there were approximately 0.5 million shares of common stock available for grants under the Plan. During the first quarter of 2017, HSNi granted 96,439 performance share units ("PSUs") to certain executive employees. PSUs cliff vest after a three year performance period. PSUs have rights to receive dividend equivalents that vest concurrently with the underlying PSUs once the requisite service has been rendered. Vesting percentages range between 0% and 200% of the target award based on HSNi's Total Shareholder Return relative to a peer group at the end of the performance period. The compensation expense for these PSUs is based on the fair value of the awards measured at the grant date and is expensed ratably over the vesting term. A summary of the stock-based awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Number of Awards Granted Weighted Average per Share Fair Value Maximum value stock appreciation rights (a) 1,144,049 $6.36 Restricted stock units 291,420 $38.14 Performance share units (b) 192,878 $57.36 Employee stock purchase plan options 31,729 $8.63 Dividend equivalents due to quarterly dividend 8,940 - (a) Maximum value SARs are similar to traditional SARs, except these instruments contain a predetermined cap of 200% on the maximum earnings potential a recipient can expect to receive upon exercise. (b) PSUs are reflected at the maximum 200% potential value. The fair values of the options granted under the HSN, Inc. 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan are estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of the maximum value stock appreciation rights and PSUs are estimated on the grant date using a Monte-Carlo simulation pricing model which estimates the potential outcome of reaching the market condition based on simulated future stock prices. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation of each for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Maximum Value Stock Appreciation Rights Employee Stock Purchase Plan Options Performance Share Units Volatility factor 27.4 % 38.7 % 30.0 % Risk-free interest rate 1.79 % 0.65 % 1.40 % Expected term 4.7 0.5 2.9 Dividend yield 3.6 % 4.1 % 0.0 %

Shareholders' Equity	SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Share Repurchase Program Effective January 27, 2015, HSNi’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program which allows HSNi to purchase up to 4 million shares of its common stock from time to time through privately negotiated and/or open market transactions. The timing of repurchases and actual number of shares repurchased depends on a variety of factors, including the stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under HSNi’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , there were no share repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , HSNi acquired approximately 181,000 shares of its outstanding common stock for $8.7 million at an average price of $48.04 . All shares were retired immediately following purchase. As of March 31, 2017 , approximately 2.7 million shares remain authorized for repurchase under the program. Dividend Policy In the first quarter of 2017, HSNi's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share resulting in a payment of $18.3 million on March 22, 2017 to HSNi's shareholders of record as of March 8, 2017. In the second quarter of 2017, HSNi's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share. The dividend will be paid on June 21, 2017 to HSNi's shareholders of record as of June 7, 2017.

Commitments And Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, HSNi is a party to various audits, claims and lawsuits. These audits or litigation may relate to claims involving property, personal injury, contract, intellectual property (including patent infringement), sales tax, product recalls, regulatory compliance, employment matters and other claims. HSNi has established reserves for specific legal, tax or other compliance matters for which it has determined the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management has also identified certain legal, tax or other matters where it believes an unfavorable outcome is not probable and, therefore, no reserve is established. Although management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against HSNi, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on its liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future and an unfavorable resolution of such a proceeding could have a material impact. Moreover, any claims or regulatory actions against HSNi, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	DIVESTITURES On September 8, 2016, HSNi completed the sale of substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Chasing Fireflies and TravelSmith, two of the apparel brands included within the Cornerstone segment for a sale price of $1 million . The sales agreement included contingent consideration of $2 million that was based on the achievement of certain performance metrics in 2016 which were not achieved. No value was assigned to the contingent consideration as it was not considered probable of being earned. The assets and liabilities of the two brands were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2016 which resulted in a non-cash asset impairment charge of $20.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2016 within the Cornerstone segment. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Cornerstone recorded an additional pre-tax loss on sale of $10.8 million . The transaction included cash charges of approximately $3.5 million related to transactions costs and employee and lease liabilities. HSNi entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer to provide fulfillment and various back office support services through February 2017. Fees earned by HSNi under this transition services agreement of approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended ended March 31, 2017 are recorded in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. HSNi determined the sale of these businesses would not represent a strategic shift in its business nor would it have a major effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Accordingly, the disposal group is not presented in the consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Developments Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Updates In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) ("ASU 2015-11"). The amendments, which apply to inventory that is measured using any method other than the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method, require that entities measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied on a prospective basis. HSNi adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have a material impact to HSNi's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASU 2016-09"). This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The effective date for the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. HSNi adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. Amendments related to accounting for excess tax benefits and deficiencies have been adopted prospectively resulting in the recognition of $0.4 million of tax expense within HSNi's consolidated statements of earnings rather than as a reduction to additional paid in capital for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Also, excess tax benefits related to share-based payments are now included in operating cash flows rather than financing cash flows in the statement of cash flows. This change has been applied retrospectively in accordance with ASU 2016-09 and prior period amounts which are considered immaterial have been reclassified. We have previously classified cash paid for tax withholding purposes as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows; therefore there is no change related to this requirement. The amendments allow for a one-time accounting policy election to either account for forfeitures as they occur or continue to estimate forfeitures as required by previous guidance. HSNi has elected to continue estimating forfeitures under the previous guidance. Accounting Standard Updates Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Additionally, ASU 2014-09 will disallow the capitalization of direct-response advertising costs which will impact the timing of recognition of Cornerstone's catalog production and distribution costs. This standard will become effective for HSNi in the first quarter of 2018. In 2015, HSNi established an implementation team (“team”) to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements, processes, systems and controls. The team is in the process of developing its conclusions and assessing the impact of several aspects of the standard including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the determination of when control of goods transfers to the company’s customers. HSNi will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018. HSNi is still evaluating the accounting, transition method and disclosure requirements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheet as assets and obligations. The effective date for the standard is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is to be applied on a modified retrospective method. HSNi is currently assessing the timing of adoption of ASU 2016-02 and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for HSNi in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted and is to be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on HSNi's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting Estimates HSNi prepares its financial statements in conformity with GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of HSNi's management, the assumptions underlying these interim unaudited financial statements are reasonable. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment for inventory; sales returns and other revenue allowances; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived assets; the impairment of intangible assets; the annual expected effective tax rate; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of incentive compensation.
