Thanks Dan. It turns out that perhaps both VLC and the WD TV Live DLNA devices I have been using have the issue you mention, since I was uable to get the DVB subtitles on both. Because of these issues with the players, I decided to go the long route: extract the DVB stream using MKVToolNix, convert to srt using using SubTitle edit (using its built in OCR), and then multiplex the SRT with the mkv video using Handbrake. Messy and tedious, but it works and is mostly automated in these softrwares, and probably will work with most video players and TVs that connect to DLNA servers like Serviio. The nice thing about this is that one can choose whether one wants to view the subtitles or not as opposed to hard burning them in as I have been doing, and, of course, the subs can be translated to other languages.
