I am so confused about the "would/should/might have done" because I see some native speaks using it for example" if I was watching it at home I would have probably turned it off" but should it be " if I had watched it at home, I would have probably turned it off" I would like to know is there any difference between this two.

@Shafoharuki: the second is correct, but to me it seems a bit odd to use that tense for that. I would probably say, "If I was watching it at home, I would probably turn it off".
unfortunately native speakers don't always speak grammatically correct, and sometimes they don't even speak in a way others will understand.

@ZachLL adding the " would have probably turned it off " puts it in the past. Your first sentence would need change to either " if I was watching it at home I would probably turn it off". was and would are in the same timeframe as if something you are saying you will do(didnt want to say would again). "where" and "would have" would be the other option. your second sentence would be correct if you where referring to the past.
