Mar 22, 2016 8:53 AM in response to Keith Dubyaby Don Nelson,Apple updated this behavior apparently to avoid accidental scrubbing. See this Ars Technical article:

Fixing fast forward
You know how when you're watching something and you pick up the remote on purpose, or on accident, or if you nudge it with your palm, or if your cat sits down next to it, or you look at it the wrong way, and it starts rewinding or fast forwarding? Typically, you then have to pick up or hunt down the remote or dig it out from under your cat and swipe back to where you were originally.
Apple must have finally figured out that this was a problem, because tvOS 9.2 tweaks the behavior. To scrub back and forth through video with the Siri Remote, you now need to pause playback first and then swipe. You can still hop through stuff as it’s playing if you want, but you need to swipe to the left or the right and then click the trackpad to jump back or forward in 10 second increments. Alternatively, you can use Siri to hop back if you need to. Either way, it's harder to interrupt playback inadvertently. It has to be intentional.
Hope this helps,

Mar 22, 2016 9:03 AM in response to Keith Dubyaby Evan Window,The new scrubbing behavior is described here: Use your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote with Apple TV (4th generation) - Apple Support
This was likely changed to help avoid accidental scrubbing while playing video.

Mar 22, 2016 11:17 AM in response to Keith Dubyaby Alley_Cat,Far too many people before were having issues accidentally shifting playback by accidentally touching the touchpad on the remote.
Hopefully this will be better once we get the hang of it. An option might have been handy to switch between the old and new behaviour - probably isn;t one but might be worth checking settings.
