Remote won't swipe forward

Right, you have AppleTV 4, though your sig says AppleTV 2.

I believe the latest tvOS 9.2 changed the way that works, because users had trouble with accidental activation. There are other threads on this change.

However, if you click on the pad, you see the progress bar, and you can drag the current time to any position then click again to resume. If the video's already downloaded, you'll see the thumbnail as you drag, otherwise not. So, if you're skipping a 3 minute commercial, just drag the time forward by 3 minutes. Myself, I just count my way through the 10 second jumps.

Read this and you will get your answer and become the expert:

Originally this link pointed to the appropriate section of the ATV 4 online help.

Now when I click on it, it returns me to this page. That doesn't seem right. The free-floating # without an anchor name doesn't seem correct. After some testing, I suggest that you need to remove the slash after the number sign, so it joins up with the next string.

I'm sorry, those links are actually like that. Strange. But the link as it stands simply loops back to this page. It looks like the actual link is to this page, although the displayed text says something else. Tricky.

Copy and paste the link and it works http://help.apple.com/appletv/#/atvb7944597f
