I get the subtitles menu using the MythCenter-Wide 1.7 theme on MythTV
v31+fixes.

There are other ways to enable subtitles.  From the keyboard, use the
T key.  I have my remotes set up to do this too from the # key.  This
is what I have in my $(HOME)/.lirc/mythtv file:

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
             # Hash (#) key - subtitles (MCE remotes)
    button = KEY_NUMERIC_POUND
    config = T
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = mythtv
             # Hash (#) key - subtitles (Hauppauge remotes)
    button = KEY_GRAVE
    config = T
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end

If you go to:

mythfrontend > Setup > Edit Keys> TV Playback

you should see the list of things you can configure on keystrokes (and
then also map to remote keys).  There are a number that are for
subtitles.  The default binding for T is TOGGLECC which toggles the
default subtitles on and off.
