Hello StarfighterJ!
Maybe :)
just did a little digging and it looks like it could be. I saw somestuff about a pair key for the lg tv's and it looks like (based on 5 minutes of searching) that there are some variety in ports based on the tv's model.

If you find something that allows you to change your tv from your browser, with the tv's ip and port. I think this could be modified pretty easy. Do you have an example command line to get it to do something?

I found two types of programs one is a LGRemoteDecktop that is written in in C++ I am trying to learn that with Visual Studio. Hrere is the Link for That: https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=lgtvremotefordesktop
This other one is actually is a program that is Called Control your LG TV (webOS 2.0+) with Amazon Alexa. but he is using a program call Python to emulated wemo switches. I think, but in the code and the one above there is a way to pair the LGTV. here is the Site on this: https://github.com/akhan23wgu/amazon-alexa-lg-tv/issues/10 I am pretty sure that with your approach on DirectTV and some of this Code a LG Alexa Skill could be better created.
Also there is Good info here on LG TV's : http://developer.lgappstv.com/TV_HELP/index.jsp?topic=%2Flge.tvsdk.references.book%2Fhtml%2FUDAP%2FUDAP%2FAnnex+A+Table+of+virtual+key+codes+on+remote+Controller.htm
Let me know what you think Please you might have to copy and pastes these links seems GITHUB has lock them in here.
