Only by editing the source code for script.skinshortcuts, which automatically applies the visibility condition "PVR.HasTVChannels" (or "system.getbool(pvrmanager.enabled)" on older versions of Kodi) to any link to the Live TV windows.
The visibility conditions are in lib/datafunctions.py, the function checkVisibility() somewhere around line 650. And you'll obviously have to make the change every time the script updates (and we're planning to update it soon!)
Edit:- Not sure quite what you mean by starting the iptvsimpleclient - if you just mean enabling it, you can do that through Settings > Add-ons > My Add-ons > PVR Clients
