Why is HSN also on Channel 84?

[JerseyGuy]

Recently I saw Channel 84 show up on my reciever as HSN. I just figured that a new low powered local New York area channel signed on and was a HSN affiliate. However I read at Dishchannelchart.com that 84 is truely just a mirror of 222 HSN.

In short, WHY?

I know someone will know the answer.

HSN must have paid Dish to be there
