Netflix doesn't have any simulcasts that I know of -- they wait until the DVD comes out and license it from the American distributor. And they almost always use the dub, so I doubt they'd be interested in adding a bunch of subbed shows. Hulu does have simulcasts, but they're usually stuff that's being streamed on other sites as well -- often including CR.
The big worry for CR is the deal between Nico Nico and Funimation, which pretty much gives Funi first dibs on a bunch of titles and is probably the reason CR has so many fewer series for the fall season compared to summer when they had almost everything interesting.
