An update and clarification on the remaining teleconverters, in response to various queries:

6. Tamron PZ-AF 2x Teleconverter £40.
This teleconverter has screw drive pass through, along with the power zoom contacts. Autofocus should work with screw drive lenses. SDM lenses don't work (they indicate MF), but curiously I tried my trusty Sigma 50-500 HSM and it does attempt to focus. It didn't seem to lock very easily though, so I'm not guaranteeing any sort of compatibility with HSM.

7. Jessops Auto 2x Teleconverter £15
This just has the "A" contacts. No screw drive, so just good old manual focus.

Ha Ha can I return those that dont work for a refund beginning to think the various makers only want their TC on its lens & bodies? Got to say the Tamron seemed the one to try more, did you buy new & how old is that ?
I'm sure we can work something out. You have PM. The Tamron 2x is second hand, not sure of it's exact age but's from the power zoom era mid 90s onwards?.

Best solution might be you buy all my teleconverters and try them out

Ok, the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 EX DG OS HSM has a in-lens motor (Hyper Sonic Motor, in Sigma speak), rather than relying on the camera body screw drive.

All the teleconverters I have will be manual focus only with this lens (Pentax 2x and Jessops 2x certainly, Tamron most probably). Image quality I'm not sure as I've never owned the 70-200.

With a nice new lens like that it might be worth looking at more modern teleconveters (e.g. Pentax HD 1.4x or Sigma's offerings), but do check compatibility first - it can be a bit of a mine field.

I think as manual focus only. If you let me have the exact model of your Sigma I'll try and find out (e.g. sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 ex dg apo os hsm)
