I recently moved to US, but have a Belgian apple ID. How can I install US apps like HBO on my devices?

Put your US billing address and payment method on your account, now that you are no longer in Belgium you can't use the Belgium store : Change your iTunes Store country or region - Apple Support

    Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store.  You will not be able to re-download them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period).  As long as you have them on your computer you will be okay.  You will also not be able to update any apps you have purchased.

     

    Change your iTunes Store country or region - https://support.apple.com/HT201389 - "After you change the country of your account, you won't see the items you purchased from the previous country’s store in the Purchased section."

     

    I can't change the country of my iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account - https://support.apple.com/HT204447
