"A successful exchange was a condition for acquiring the Dish video business," the spokesperson said in an email Tuesday. "Given the outcome of the EchoStar exchange, DirecTV will have no choice but to terminate the acquisition of Dish by midnight on Nov. 22."

DirecTV does not plan to offer further concessions, according to people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss confidential information. Further progress could be made if Dish and co-founder and Chairman Charlie Ergen were to come to the negotiating table, though that currently seems unlikely, said one of the people.
