Why do you use subtitle edit? For example, do you convert your subtitles to another format?
OCR'ed to SRT you can have Subtitle Edit easily remove text for the hearing impaired as explained in the FAQ.

Thanks for letting me know. I may look into this. Although, I'm not sure if I want to open this can of worms!

If I were to do this, do I have to convert my PGS sub tracks to something else first?

If you end up getting the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus player, or one that supports PGS subtitles, would you then have a reason to use subtitle edit?
No, no reason.

Okay. Well thanks again for your help, I should be all set now.

The only other thing I may do is try to turn a SDH sub track into a non-SDH sub track with subtitle edit. Basically, remove all text for the hearing impaired. Although, I want to see if this involves having to convert a PGS track to another format first.
