The Netflix interface is still the best, and is supported on nearly everything. But of course they have cracked down on popular DNS services and VPNs. There is probably an effect where if a VPN service is found to work for Netflix region hopping, it is talked about, and no doubt Netflix quickly notices and blocks their IPs. I imagine setting up a private VPN would be reliable, but not realistic for most, and would only allow a single extra region.
I've tried it on android, set top, and streaming through a browser. Streaming has always been spotty on any device other than set top boxes, but the interface in general (across the board) is clunky.

To be honest, I forgot ST TNG was on Crave. Of course I prefer the slick Netflix interface, but I could probably suck it up and watch it on Crave.

I will miss switching so seamlessly through the different regions to get the content I want, but at least it will save me $5 a month.
