I use the Ceton PCI-e version so this issue might be different for the USB version.

Possible fixes: put a startup delay as a startup option or retry searching for the device for some period until its found?
Yes, from what I can tell I think the issue is that tv.exe loads before Windows has loaded the drivers for the Ceton. Thus the Ceton doesn't exist (as far as Windows is concerned) when tv.exe looks for it and so the tuner can't be loaded. I think either of the fixes you mentioned would be fine - depends on which you think would be easier to implement.
