The decoding hardware, whether it's in the TV itself or in an STB connected to the TV would need to be upgraded, and possibly replaced.

If the new codec requires a software update, it could probably upgraded remotely. If the new codec requires a hardware update, then you'd probably need a new TV or STB to get it.
