Portsmouth licensee Karen Murphy, of the Red, White & Blue is appealing against her conviction for screening Premiership football via Greek channel Nova Supersport.
It is the first foreign satellite case to reach the High Court.
The hearing is set for two days at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Murphy's appeal team set about their argument that signals were broadcast from Greece after the Greek station took the Premier League's feed from a satellite and added its own programming details such as commentary, advertising and the channel's own logo.
The appeal team are also seeking to prove that the broadcast is interrupted because of a time delay in its transmission via Nova.
The case is being heard by Lord Justice Stanley Burnton and Mr Justice Pumfrey.
Media Protection Services, prosecuting on behalf of the FA Premier League, has yet to make its case.
The appeal team is relying on the Copyright Act and the TV Without Frontiers Directive to prove its case.
The hearing continues.
